The 225 was designed to carry the Buran Russkie Space Shuttle and the Engines for the Energya rocket.

There are plenty of A-124's though, I see them at JFK all the time.

Well....there is a 2nd airframe that they were supposedly making airworthy but I just read that the deal fell through sometime in August. Hopefully someone will take up that project again...it would be nice to have to examples flying...I blame the economy
