I never tire of seeing this thing. I work at East Midlands Airport and have seen this thing on and off for 20 years. (Along with its bigger sister, the An-225) They still fascinate me.

Incredible how the wings works flexening. When the aircraft is on the floor, the fuselaje support the wings wich "fall" making an inverted dihedral, but as soon the plane lift on, the weights inverts and the wings support the fuselaje and flexen making a "straight row" . Awesome how the material works...

Wonderful sound indeed! Thank you for uploading this wonderful video. I was very fortunate to see (and hear) a Volga-Dnepr Airlines An-124 depart from BWI on two separate occasions. An absolutely amazing sight to see these behemoths rotate and take to the air with their four Ivchenko-Progress turbofans singing away. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.

8 days ago when our flight landed in Philadelphia, I saw this airplane being loaded up with the front nose of the airplane lifted up. then about 30 seconds later I saw an airplane just like a 747 but it didn't have the 2nd level. Im a 12 year old boy and I will never forget that experience.

It was the spring of 1995 and I was sitting window side in handcuffs on a Con Air 727 taxieng around the Houston International tarmac when I see a parked Aeroflot An-124.Instantly yelling OMG! Thats a Russian An-124 Condor! and in beautiful Aeroflot colors nonetheless.Startling inmates and US. Marshalls alike I then proceed to give a quick lesson on the 124 and the Cold War and explained what a C-5 was that led to, you can clone that thing?My Love of Airplanes and History had me smiling in handcuffs on the way to Prison yelling Greatest Day Ever!!

Серийное производство велось на УАПК (РСФСР) и КиАПО (УССР). В производстве компонентов для него в СССР участвовали более сотни предприятий в России, Украине, Узбекистане и других советских республиках[6]. После развала СССР и остановки серийного производства на обоих заводах остался задел, дособранный в постсоветское время. Предпринимались попытки возобновить полноценное производство, однако они не увенчались успехом.

Very Impressive video and from what I have read, a super cargo carrier. Putting military use aside, it would a great disaster relief aircraft which could get emergency supplies to impacted areas quickly. I know the US has chartered the 124 on numerous times and I could never understand why the US or American Cargo companies do not invest in some of these jets. You can get 2 - 3 of these jets for the cost of a 747-8 Cargo. If I ran a large cargo line, I know which ones I would buy because in private business, money plays a huge part.
