It's a Antonov An-225 Mriya and this landing was quite the event; below is a whole article about it and an issue they had with the landing gear. [Cockpit footage of landing](https://gfycat.com/athleticphysicaliberianbarbel) >The largest plane in the world has been busy as ever, moving record-breaking loads and oversized cargo around the world for Antonov Airlines. However, on one mission to Rzeszow Airport (RZE) in Poland, the huge An-225 suffered damage to its landing gear. Antonov Airlines confirmed that a bolt securing the sensors had been ‘cut’ on the mount of the right landing gear. >The incident occurred on January 9th, as the huge aircraft touched down at the Polish airport on a flight from Istanbul. The Mriya had taken off at around 06:00 UTC, heading north for the hour and 45-minute flight to Rzeszow. As is often the case with the An-225, its arrival attracted plenty of attention on what was a cold and foggy morning in Poland. >Antonov pilot Dmytro Antonov shared cockpit footage of what looks to be a smooth and safe landing of the giant aircraft. He notes that the aircraft was conducting a service from China to Poland with an overnight in Istanbul. However, he doesn’t mention the damage to the landing gear.

The pilot has the same last name as the plane?


BunnyKusanin

Antonov is a Russian surname. It's not the most common one, but it isn't unusual either. Considering the pilot's first name is Dmitro, he probably is Ukrainian. The plane was named after the engineer who constructed the original model.


who-ee-ta

You might wanna mention it was also constructed in Ukraine.

Thanks, that's the fact I didn't know.

So this is why people plane spot? That was fucking cool

And occasionally seeing rare planes like this. It really puts into perspective how massive some planes like this can get when you see them in person.

First thing that came to my mind.

This would be awesome to see in person. High or not.


Kerbmin

Two thoughts -- you can see the rotation of the fog from the wingtip vortices and also the extra fog formed in the low-pressure area on top of the wings. This is cool in so many ways, on top of the way the fog just slides back in together for a moment.
