I love that Airbus leaned so much into the beluga theme by painting that face on the XL.
-
RIP the Myria, I hope they can find the time in a few years to create that giant Soviet masterpiece again
-
I love that Airbus just leant hard into the Beluga name on the XL's. I think the face actually makes them look considerably less weird.
-
Love it when the writers can get Simon to break character. 4head/5head joke got me rolling.
-
The Beluga is the most adorable heavy lifter.
-
As a train engineer we used an Antonov to deliver Metro cars from Europe to China. The volume is less of an issue but the hard dimensions , width/length/height/mass are more important. 23mx3m metro cars were shipped 2 at a time with a weight of about 70 tonnes. To meet a contractual delivery!

God, I love when Simon breaks character in his more serious videos 😂😂

The Boeing Dreamlifter flies over my house in north Seattle a lot. (It’s landing at their site in Everett, WA) It’s not particularly loud. But it is HUGE and hard to miss.
-
When the Beluga was being readied for the world, there was an internal poll among Airbus employees to decide on the paint scheme, with a number of variants being proposed. The smiling face won, but there was a pink version which was also very popular. I still think they missed a trick there, as that really would make a statement.

This and Simon's other channels have quickly become my go to channels to watch. I learn so much from his videos. Thank you Simon

When I worked for the State at Anchorage International Airport I got to see THE AN-225 up close and in person, and the word "gargantuan" is an understatement. While I was in the truck just looking a dude came up and asked if i wanted to see inside, turns out it was the copilot. That was prolly the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life at that point, got to see it come and go a few more times that summer.
-
3:18 HEY!! That's MY joke, Brain Boy!
-
Ive seen 3 of the 4 Dreamlifters on the ground at the same time! Epic!!
-
7:45 "The AN-225 was too small..." Damn. Nuff said.
-
I got to see the Super Guppy in person! It is such a funky but beautiful aircraft.
-
I wept pretty intensely when the Mriya was killed by the Russians, and it still hurts my heart every time I see pictures or videos of her. I doubt they'll ever rebuild her, but she lives on in my heart ❤️
-
Yeah... I lived in the Seattle area near Boeing Field, and often was around The Everett plant (where 747, 787, 777 were/are built/ tested) and I used to see these suckers flying around once on a while... There are really something to see!
-
A Beluga very slowly banks directly over our house in North Wales twice a week on average. I'll never forget the first time my wife and I saw it.
-
Love the attempt to make a face on the BelugaXL😂Like a cute version of ww2 mustangs❤️
-
I remember seeing the Airbus beluga at Manchester airport what a beast.
