My first cache placement! I'm taking inspiration from Mondo and his NAT series, and I'm going to make my aviation series!

The largest aircraft ever made was the Antonov AN-225, a cargo plane with 6 engines and a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes. It had the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. This plane was built in the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union. Only one was ever built to completion, but a second one was partially built until lack of funding and lack of interest halted the operation. In 2009, an effort was made to continue building the second model, bringing it to about 60-70% completion. As of 2020, the second model is undergoing testing in Ukraine with hopes to finish the aircraft due to cargo demand.

Just to confirm- It is not in a backyard. It is available from the greenbelt and you just need to look in the fence tops. Don't try to go in any backyards.

Snowy day today! I'll check on the cache when I get home to make sure that the contents are safe and sound. I'll make regular stops to make sure the log doesn't get wet, or if it does I'll replace it. I'm going to place a couple more caches soon, so stay tuned!
