    The Antonov Has Landed!

    This aircraft landed in Calgary today - but the best pics are from its visit to the Edmonton airport last year. It's said to be the world's heaviest aircraft!

    From today's story:

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...e-antonov.html

    The one-of-a-kind plane is in Calgary to pick up natural gas equipment and transport it to Nigeria. At 285,000 kilograms it is the world's heaviest aircraft. It’s also of the biggest, able to carry up to 50 automobiles.
