The An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрія, NATO reporting name: Cossack) is a strategic airlift transport aircraft which was built by the Antonov Design Bureau, and is the largest flying airplane ever built. The design, built to transport the Buran orbiter, was an enlargement of the successful An-124 Ruslan. Mriya (Мрія) means “Dream” (Inspiration) in Ukrainian. Two An-225s have been produced.
The Antonov An-225 is commercially available for flying any over-sized payload due to the unique size of its cargo deck. Currently there is only one aircraft operating but a second mothballed airframe is being reconditioned and is scheduled for completion around late 2008.1

how did you download the kml software.?
The free version of Google Sketchup allows you to export models in the kml format. With your model open in SketchUp, go to “File>Export>3D Model”. Then, in the bottom box “Export type:” click on the arrow and select “Google Earth 4 (*.kmz)”, type in your file name and then click on “Export”. That will create the type of kml file that 3DVIA can easily upload. I hope this helps.
