Getting off the ground, it presumably would be quite a bit lighter than when it landed though, no?

The plane pictured and listed is not the plane that landed on SXM after Irma. The Russian cargo plane that landed after Irma was an Antonov AN-124-100M. The runway at PJIA(Sxm) is neither long enough or wide enough to support either the landing or takeoff of the Antonov AN-225.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

I don't understand why the biggest cargo aircraft in the world would be needed to bring ventilators to an Island with 67 confirmed cases ...12 which have recovered and 10 have passed away. even including the surrounding islands it would be a stretch....and how many intensive care rooms are there on SXM to deal with all,these ventilators. That size plane could supply NYC plus NJ....
I would assume it's a major supply restock flight....of everything.
Only an opinion....

It was not full of ventilators, but much needed medical supplies. The one with ventilators and beds was here prior.

You would not believe how big that Ruskie aircraft is....I flew in a C5 Galaxy rescue mission from BOS to Frankfort en-route to Bam, Iran and that plane is freaking HUGE,,,just drive the Expedition in the front and have plenty of room around it,,,,,we couldn't use the C5 to Bam so went with a C141 but most of our personal stuff (all) had to be shipped out days later
...and the Ruskie plane is bigger than the C5

Lesley, you can find all that on the FB page or the dashboard. Don't think they put the videos on the dashboard.

I Does anyone know when the big plane will be taking off? I don't want to miss it.
Is anyone on TTOL have info on the flight plan? I have been doing some digging but I can't find any firm information yet. Based on the last Volga-Dnepr Airline flight that left SXM on 4/18/2020, right now I'm going to guess that it will leave early in the morning around 6 am on Wednesday 4/22/2020.
