The destroyed cult aircraft Antonov An-225, also known as Mriya, is to be rebuilt. Once the largest plane, it was destroyed during a Russian offensive on Hostomel Airport.
The Mriya has always been an incomparable attraction for admirers, countless fans dreamed of getting a photo of the plane. With the ultimate destruction in the Ukraine war, airspace history loses one of its gems. But this fact should be counteracted: Ukraine longs for a reconstruction of the Antonov An-225, but this is associated with high costs. Up to 3 billion euros are required for the construction process.
However, the reconstruction is to be co-financed by fans in the future. In the video game "Microsoft Flight Simulator", a flight simulator, as the name suggests, the Mriya is playable by purchase. With the proceeds mentioned, fans should now be able to co-finance the aircraft, since all proceeds related to the Antonov An-225 aircraft will go to the Antonov Corporation.
