"Emilio" wrote in message ... Ya I found the pic with Buran on top. Funny, I thought Russians were lot more practical than design a brand new 6 engine aircraft to carry Buran. We do it simply with 747. Well, as well as the An-225, they also used the VM-T Atlant. A Myasichev 3M "Bison" bomber / tanker converted to a twin tail with the Buran orbiter stapped to the back. Also used for carrying the Buran external fuel tank. http://legion.wplus.net/guide/air/t/vm-t.shtml http://spacearium.aresinstitute.org/...mages_113.html Jon.

Thanks for the web site with large collection Russian images. Is that a Buran tank? I've seen that same plane in a magazine that referred to the "tank" as a container for generic bulk cargo. -- Zamboni
