What a bloody mess they made of it. As much as I've read all the commentary criticising people for getting so worked up about a destroyed aircraft. I think in this case the An-225 represented a lot more than that to both every day Ukranians and aviation geeks alike. It had an almost World Trade Centre effect in the hearts and minds, and for that reason alone, I sincerely wish them all the very best and hope they soon reach a status where they can and will build it again.
