This thing. The (a second one has never been completed) Antonov An 225.

It arrived at Shannon Airport today with nearly a million surgical gowns from China. The suspicious would comment that not only has China supplied the virus, they’re now supplying the PPE needed in the fight against it and are working on vaccines next.

Kinja'd!!!

The An 225, which normally gets little use as planes go, is very busy at the moment supplying Chinese PPE all over the place. Even viruses bring business opportunities.

Antonov have a Y ou T ube channel where they post all of their recent trips !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Well, China makes everything, to be fair, and they are basically the only large country with a fully functional/operating economy right now, so where else are you going to buy stuff?

Its landed in Toronto a couple of times and Ive been unfortunate to miss it every time.

The most recent delivery was also PPE and accompanied onboard videos.

Holy crap that was less than 2 weeks ago! I need to setup something that warns me when giant Soviet planes are headed this way.

Maybe a chain of flat brim hatted dudebro s kept alert by some form of green energy drink...

There’s no easy way to track it since each flight is chartered. Periodically check twitter or flightaware I suppose, you’ll get a few hours leeway either way.
