Last time I heard, an Antonov was forced to land in India which was destined for somewhere in Pakistan and was let go after the intervention of US Govt as it was carrying their cargo for Pakistani (officially non-existent) bases.

Yup Indeed i know exactly how its feels to be inside of this aircraft and you will be double the lucky if Ruslan younger brother of Mariya will be standing next to it. Amazing Machine and could be life time spotting for some people.

I would crap my pants if i saw the 225 in real life! I've seen the 125 a few times in ISB and once in DC over here, but never a 225.
Amazing wingspan- it boggles the mind when you think it can actually fly!
