Jon Ferlise September 30, 2017

The Antonov An-124 is one of the largest aircraft in the world. To be precise, it’s actually the fourth largest aircraft in the world and second largest cargo plane behind only the Antonov An-225. Both aircraft are generally used for military purposes, designed and manufactured in the Ukraine.

Today, it landed at Princess Juliana International Airport filled with relief supplies for Sint Maarten. Here are a few pictures of the massive aircraft along with video of the plane taking off from SXM.

I fell in love with the island of Saint Martin the first time I visited to celebrate my 40th birthday in May of 2009. Since then, I've spent most birthdays there, and have visited countless other times getting to know this wonderful place and the friendly locals that make it so special. I adore the culture, the people, the community, and the beauty of this stunning island. SXM Strong is a website that I started to support humanitarian relief efforts following Hurricane Irma. There was no plan, it just evolved as I witnessed the devastation that Irma caused the island and the huge need to communicate and disseminate information about what had happened and how people could help support this island and its people.
