Was anyone trying to say it was the biggest?, the answer is no, it is just a fantastic plane is all.

yeh thats what i mean its the big cheese

No, but it is the biggest passenger plane! Requires lots more electronics and gadgets than cargo planes do.

Some A380 configurations include a bar, showers, lounges etc etc. Lots of gizmos.

Concorde was way ahead of its time. The combination of high oil prices and some debri made the end of its prestige... It remains a marvel.

As for Airbus...what a plane that A380. I've seen it fly in 2005 during work at the Paris Airshow and again in 2007. They put in a 'disc' with remapped flight envelope data and the testpilot does things with it. Beyond normal passenger experience.

Ultimate boundaries of A380 flight envelope. Really at the limits of the aircraft's capabilities. One word...awesome.

Hope I get the career @ ExecuJet I applied for.
I'm hungry for business jets this time!!!

It's just majestic

The other end of the scale, lol

I bet they'd still run out of chicken dinners before they get to my seat...

the big grey box sitting in a stand is the touch screen remote to control seat recline, massage control, lighting, entertainment, stewardess call, etc.

i wonder if you can take it out of the dock and log on to the internet or something or even order something from the duty shop. now that would be something..

What's with all the fake wood veneer in the last and penultimate pictures? Looks ghastly.
