Antonov 225 with Buran

The largest transport aircraft in the world has 35 wheels and was primarily used to transport the Soviet Union's space shuttle Buran. Now it carries Michael Jackson's tour team to Europe and aid to 3rd world countries. It was here at my local airport (without the Buran) this Wednesday.

As far as the blurb in our local paper went, there are only 2 of these aircraft that were made.
 
I watched a programme about this plane on Discovery. It seems that some private company, somewhere? has realised the aircrafts potential and charter it out for large summs of Cash ;)
