Two huge aircraft created in Design Bureau Antonov. This is one of the largest aircraft in the world. Very rare to see them together at the airport. An-225 performs a demonstration flight, the crew of the An-22 is preparing for takeoff.

Cabin for the rest of the crew and accompanying persons. Terms spartan, but when the plane was created it was very comfortable.
