with the near world wide panic that the AN-225 was rumored damaged or destroyed with the attack on Hostomel, the 225's Global Home Base. There are rumors that it was on ADSB Just a couple days ago well out of the area. I need the hexcode so i can trigger up history here on the map and see if they are true.
It appears it's unharmed (as of 18h ago). One of the captains made a Facebook post about it. Edit: one of the tweets with a screenshot from FB: https://twitter.com/Lustublog/status/1496909969655943178
Todays news is that is has been destroyed: https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1497947370008547332 (no independent verification).
Antonov and Ukroboronprom Defense Agencies confirmed it yesterday after drone footage showed the tail section burning and the hangar matches the hangar for the 225 when it is at home base. Hostomel "Antonov Airport"
I didn't realize what plane you guys was talking about till i just came across this video. Dang Putin makes me so mad. Trying to start a war that didn't need started and no one but him wanted it.
It made several stops at HNL, most recently in 2018. I didn't go see it, but a local blogger did. SEE: HNL RareBirds
