This is a portrait shot, I guess you would call it. Again, remember that I am NOT a professional photographer and I was using a cellphone camera. This is the best I could do.

Note the light general aviation aircraft on the pilot's side. These all had to be moved out before the An-225 could turn around. I was told that the last wheel on each main gear assembly, is steerable. Which means the beast can essentially pivot. Since there was no towbar or tractor capable of moving the An-225, the plan was to allow it to power its way out. Which would have nuked the light aircraft. Hence, they were relocated.
