Antonov 225 visit to Milwaukee, WI 2/17/04
General Mitchell International Airport

The story I've heard is she is picking up rail cars from HNL that
were being transported via ship. The rail cars are for an upcoming
trade show in Chicago. The ship was running late and the owners
feared they would not make it for the show and made the decision to
switch to air service. The decision to go to MKE was made for two
reasons: Great landing fees at MKE, logistics of getting these cars
on a rail line.
