"After emerging from its stay in the repair shop, the An-225 Mriya, or "dream" in Ukrainian, flew straight from Kyiv, Ukraine to Tianjin, China to pick up medical supplies for a cargo charter to Poland." No it didn't. It flew test flights last week in Ukraine
Starting on past Saturday/Sunday, it flew GML-ALA-TSN, left TSN Monday-ALA-WAW. Not a straight shot for sure.

Flew back to ALA Wed. then back to TSN, landing almost 2 hrs ago...must have had a good tailwind as well, shaving 1 hr 40 min off the flight...be interesting to see where it bounces to next.

Has anyone been able to get info on arrival time at Pearson Int’l YYZ May 27?

It flew into ANC early this am from a Japan stop, for a fuel stop/rest. Then it's on to Montreal, arriving Sunday. Since no flight plans have been filed, departures and arrivals are up in the air.

Thanks, I suspect early arrival Wednesday am but no facts to back it up. Only makes sense as loading as quickly as they can then on to next port of call.

What I am trying to figure out is, since it will be offloading in Montreal Sunday, it won't get back to Tianjin till Monday night/Tuesday morning, load, then back over to ANC and on to YYZ. That would place it in YYZ on Thursday, unless they are just doing a fuel pit stop in ANC on Wednesday.

YYZ community e-mail put it at Pearson on May 27 for off loading. I am still thinking around dawn hour for landing but just a guess.

Ok flight plan filed and on the way..expected 7:50am arrival @YMX..get off loaded and back in the air Sunday night, into ANC early evening Sunday AKDT. If all goes according to plan, probably a morning/mid day Wednesday arrival.

I just read the report ok, but you did not miss much as it was flawed with errors.
