Regarding the Weight issue for the AN-225 and yssy I don't think it would be a problem, I was looking at some old mags today that had reports on the Antonov. One was from Take Off magazine if you remember that mag,it says and I qoute. " During the flying routine for the 1988 Paris airshow the Antonov 225 landed, after it's display the pilot was told that it would have to wait on the runway due to other aircraft blocking the turnoff exit, the pilot's response was no worries we don't need a exit and taxied straight across the grass and on to the adjoining taxiway, the aircraft didn't even break a stride whilst on the uneven surface".
Crazy Russians is all I can say...
