World’s largest, heaviest production aircraft departing Seattle

World's largest, heaviest production aircraft departing Seattle

Ukrainian Antonov Airlines An-124 Руслан (Ruslan/Lion in Ukrainian, NATO reporting name Condor) The inside cargo compartment is longer than the Wright Brother’s original first flight.

Antonov evacuated five 124s to Leipzig Airport in Germany, where they continue to operate. A sixth 124 undergoing modernization and assembly in Kyiv secretly departed the Antonov plant in July of 2025, increasing the fleet.

They are frequent visitors to Paine Field in Everett and Seatac, but showing up at Boeing Field is a bit more rare.

I hope we start to see UPS 747s out of Boeing Field.
