I'd like to see Americans top the AN-225.

That's one big airplane! It was built, I believe, to transport the never used Soviet space shuttle Buran.

It's now used for commerical heavy lift operations. History profiled it a few times on Modern Marvels, my favorite show.

Another one exists and Antonov (Ukraine) would like a third to be completed.
