The world’s largest aircraft landed at Prestwick Airport yesterday and Tom Gibbons was there for Global Aviation Resource.

The Antonov An-225 Mriya arrived at Prestwick Airport just before 3pm yesterday for a brief visit on its way from Bangor, USA and en route to Châteauroux-Centre Airport, France.

Crowds gathered to see the An-225 arrive and depart, and Tom Gibbons was among them, capturing these images.

A relatively rare opportunity to see the largest of them all!
