The theme week for December is the Антонов Ан225 Мрия, or Antonov An225 "Mriya (Peace)". The largest aircraft in the world paid a few visits to Honolulu International Airport during October. The Mriya was used to ferry electric generators and other relief supplies to aid the earthquake and tsunami disasters in American Sāmoa, Sāmoa, and the Republic of Tonga.
Today's photo shows the An225 parked at an angle because its huge size. The behemoth actually took up three parking stands, and had to be towed in. Had it been parked normally, the tail end would have encroached the taxiway where the edge of the starboard (right side) wing tip is.
