The Antonov An-225

Hello everyone! This will be about the biggest plane in the world: the Antonov An-225 Mriya! This plane has been used for many purposes, from carrying the space shuttle to transporting supplies to soldiers!
If you watched the movie 2012, you can see its enormousness. It has a gross weight of 640 tons, and one of the amazing thing is that there is only two in the world! There are six engines and has a set of 32 landing gear.  Pretty cool, huh?

Different category

Hello, everyone! As Weatherman, I have decided to change everything. Now, instead of just weather, I will include airplanes!

The very first airplane I will talk about is the CC-130 Hercules. I am very interested about this plane because it is in use around the globe. It has four turboprop engines, but although it is not as fast as a plane with jet engines, it can carry nearly 80 troops! Isn't that amazing?

It is also used to refuel aircraft in midair. it can fuel a certain type of plane in 5 minutes! There are many reasons that I like this plane, but these are most important.
