The Antonov, world’s largest plane, lands at Ben Gurion Airport

The world’s largest plane just landed at Ben Gurion International Airport.

The Antonov An-225 — built in the 1980s in Soviet Ukraine and the only one in existence — arrived from the US, carrying US army trucks that will be fitted with Iron Dome parts for use by the US military. They will later be flown back to America.

Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts gathered near the airport ahead of the legendary plan’s arrival to watch it land.
