AN-225 Production finally happening

Interesting development especially for those fans of large type aircraft.

September 6, 2016: In August China signed a contract with Ukraine to revive production of the An-225 transport and have the first new one in service by 2019. This first one will be the An-225 that was about 60 percent finished when work was halted in 1991. Ukraine has granted a license to resume production of the An-225 in China. More details will be made public in the future including any plans to resume An-124 production.

I'm guessing when #2 is delivered it will set a record for the longest aircraft production time for a single unit. I don't think even the F-35 can top that.
