Country:  | Which Russian Cargo plane is bigger
Is it the Antonov- An 224 or 225? There both very big planes. I thought it was the An-224 until I read a book called cargo aircraft around the world. I saw the AN-225 and it looked equaly as big. |

Country:  | Well considering that there is no such thing as a An-224 the An 225 is bigger...
There was an An-124 which looks similar to a C-5 Galaxy and it is 226 ft long and has a wingspan of 240 ft. Its max take off weight is 893,000lb. 
The An-225 is the largest plane in the world and is 275 ft long and has a wingspan of 290 ft. Its max take off weight is 1,322,733lb.

Country: | Hard to believe, but Hugh's Spruce Goose had a larger wingspan at 319 feet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G...comparison.svg

Country:  | Love the An-225. Did you guys see the pictures from the 1989 Paris airshow when the An-225 had the Buran Russian Space shuttle on it's back?

Country: | The Buran has been at the museum now for a little over a month and you can actually walk inside of it and check it out. Its pretty neat, the first true space shuttle to be on display in a museum.
