So there you have it. Do you have a guess now, Mr. Picky?
I'll have to recuse myself since I found the answer checking out the Spruce Goose. Two of the historical record holders were very short-lived, which is why I see the current flyer as most significant.
P.S. I added [
cheers] to my header to honor my favorite poster MMC2. Then, he goes and changes it. Ingrate!

Okay I'm going to have to turn over all the cards, since there's only one option left, and
nobody guessed it.
It is indeed the
Stratolaunch
which was first successfully flown on April 13, 2019, beating out the An-225, the previous record holder.
At 385 feet, the wingspan of the Stratolaunch is longer than a football field, and needs two cockpits and fuselages. It's designed to launch rockets into low earth orbit from mid-air.
MAGA! FAFO!

portside
and the other HAS half-a-wing on its
starboard
side.
Also, WHY did they give it a 1950s (OR 40s - 60s) NAME?!?

A year later and the
Stratolaunch
is no longer an active plane. I'd never fly in that awful thing. That middle wing must be either too heavy or too weak. I wouldn't trust it to keep that flying catamaran together in a turbulent storm.
