Question ANTONOW 225 flying again ???

In the official press release of the Paris airshow Le Bourget June 2001 one of the mentioned aircraft that will be there for static and flight display is the 6-engine An-225.

As I thought to know that only one was built, but has been grounded for the last few years at Kiew I would like to know if the press information was too optimistic or if the An-225 "Miryia" is in fact in the air again. Any confirmed facts about this unbelievably BIG iron ( MTOW 600 tons ) ?

I have had a look inside the simliar An-124 "Ruslan" and I would love to see the even bigger An 225.

This Airbus is o.k., but why did it come with a RENAULT key ??
