They built two AN-225 airframes, but with the fall of the USSR they decided to contiune with only one as a heavy lift transport MTOW 600,000kg...I'd call that heavy. There is a second airframe that they didnt continue with. However they plan on having that airborne this year sometime

My Ukrainian is comming along slowly.... better start working on drinking that vodka

....and in terms of conditions of employments, its what basically GA but instead of a clapped out yank piston, you have a clapped out Ukrainian behemoth.
