Which of these planes do you like more? Write it in the comments. In addition to that please tell me which planes I should compare next. You decide !!

This time you told me to compare the Boeing 747 with the Antonov An-124. I decided to take only aircrafts of the Boeing 747-400Freighter, so we have a freighter only “battle”. These videos are a little annoying because I have to dig through my entire video collection to pick these short clips but I like to do this for you guys 😉

The Boeing 747-400 had its first flight in 1993 and 694 airframes have been built until 2009 (pax and freight versions). The Antonov An-124 had its first flight in 1982 and it was built in the Ukraine, (not russia ). Antonov is a company frum Ukraine 😉 In January 2014 there were 24 Antonov An-124 in commercial service.

You can order an Antonov An-124 for just 90 Million $ while you have to pay approx. 230 Million$ for a new B747-400 (B747-8F).
