UR-82060 An225 current status?

[Danmadole]

Anyone know where the Antonov 225 is at present? Haven't seen or heard tell of it for quite a few months now. I guess it's probably in Kiev but what is its current status?

[Suzeman]

Believe it has been undergoing a check at Gostomel in the last couple of months.

3000 feet over Hull??? Wow; where had it taken off from?

[TopBunk]

tbh, he did say '3000ft above us', not at 3000ft;)

[camelspyyder]

OK I wasn't all that specific. we were at FL150 ish

CS:)

[Danmadole]

All well and good.... but still no confirmation of the current location. Seems to have been off line for a long period of time. Hopefully it's not grounded.

I dont know how old the image is, but I just took a look at Google Earth and the image of Gostomel shows it on the ground there.

[captain_flynn]

I got some photos of it earlier today along with the French air force A340.
From what i've heard the An225 is leaving at 11am on Monday. Of course that could change.

[handsfree]

Latest dep. thought to be 11:00 tomorrow (Tuesday). Possibly - could be subject to change.
