Tow Bar

Due to its immense size, the Mriya carries its own tow bar. I was told that the tow bar is stored in the nose. When the Mriya arrived at HNL, the aircraft stopped on the taxiway, opened its nose cargo door, kneeled the nose gear, removed the bar, then closed up before attaching the tow bar to the nose gear. After the process is completed, the An225 can be towed to its parking spot.
