This seems a bit unusual; generally (I'd think) the certification and proving flights would be completed before use in service. Then again, no passengers are on board, only crew and inspectors

Modified aircraft don't need a "full" certification because the original aircraft (in this case 747-400 ...

nice overview picture of the assembly flights (where everthing is coming from) can be found here

This is a bad ( april fool's ) joke.The whole story is invented and there is nothing wrong with the AN-225.

Confirming the 6 B767 would be used for Transatlabtic flights between Europe and the VS in co-ops with Lufthansa .

Only the " low " useable payload of the B767-300F compaired to a MD-11 is a bit scratching my head.
