    PRESTWICK LANDING VID
    A good friend of mine lives about 2 miles from runway 03 (the one that crosses the one the AN-225 landed on) at Prestwick. She's a big aviation buff like I am, we even went and watched aircraft last time I was there. I wouldn't be surprised if she was out watching that very landing.

      This puts it into perspective for me. I've been in/around C5's and they are HUGE but looks small compared to that monster!

        I got to see one up close in Oklahoma City about 25 years ago. It was here for an air show. They took it up, and flew it at low altitude around the city, and it was flanked by two Russian fighter planes. I remember it looking almost cartoon like, being so big, and flying so low. It was a big deal at the time, because it was the first time the plane had ever been in an American air show. Unfortunetly, it didn't get to "perform" as a stunt plane crashed, minutes before the Antonov was supposed the fly. (Cancelling the show)

                I'd say this is pretty good confirmation
