wow, you're not kidding!

FUUUCCCKKKK!!!! That's a big place.

I can't wait to ride one of those puppies. I think United is putting one (or maybe already have it) from New York to Tokyo, or maybe even Bangkok if I remember right. Something about it was going to be the first place to do a direct flight to the US to Bangkok. I'll be on that bitch.

Damn - I didnt think that thing was going to be flying for a year or so.

Damn, i thinki am taking one in a few weeks, it is only international fights right?

Damn, nice shots. I heard about that today on tv...

I don't understand why they have been coming out with larger models lately. I think a couple of the other manufacturers are as well. I was under the impression airlines have been moving to smaller planes instead of the large ones.

I know over the next couple years there are some huge airplanes being released.

that thing is ginormous!

That would be the most kick ass flight ever

wow thats big would love to fly with that one :)

Thats the new one that will be replacing the 747 right???

Dont think they will last long with the price of fuel now days.

those pics are photoshopped, there's no way that thing can fly!

No, 747 is a Boeing jet... this is an Airbus. And the engines they put in these new birds are really fuel efficient.

WOW, amazing how something that big gets off the ground.

G

Always amazes me how the fuck something that big that get of the ground.

I'll wait until they have a few million k's under their belt before I am in any rush to book tickets.

Fucking aerosexuals! Kill them all!

whoa.. man that's huge.. How I wish I can go Ice skate inside!

LOL
I photochopped a picture of a flying A380 onto an existing picture so that it looks like a flying A380.

*genius idea 487*

that's a huge mama

i remember from the news that the A380 can hold up to allmost 1000 people and is furbished with a workout room and etc.

lighten up francis, it was a joke, you're prolly not good enough at ps to chop that

That thing must need 50-60 flight attendants.

as well as a pool, football field and zoo

Here are some more pics of the plane
Brisbane Airport

I'm coming into brizzy in 2 weeks

where did that flight come from? I need to be on that bitch

Now that's pimp. Love the fact that it has a gym on board.

that thing is HUGE

The Boeing 777 will replace the 747. The A380 is by Airbus.

Regarding fuel efficiency:

"And the A380?s environmental friendliness does not stop at noise reductions. The economic fuel consumption of the A380 ? around 13 per cent lower fuel burn than its closest competitor ? will also help reduce the impact of exhaust gases on the atmosphere. Indeed, the A380 will be the first long-haul aircraft to consume less than three litres of fuel per passenger over 100 kilometres (95 miles per imperial gallon) ? a fuel burn comparable with the best of small modern turbo-diesel cars."

that is really big.

Thats amazing.

I don't think that any of these have been released to the airlines yet. The first flight by one was only a month or so ago just before the Paris Airshow if I remember correctly. And this one is only out here on a promo tour because Qantas has ordered 12 of them.

BlueDesign - I don't know about a workout room but they certainly do have a number of shops on the plane - we're talking about something that is as tall as a 7 storey building that can carry up to 800 people.

Nice shots Marty - I hear a thousand people turned out to see it come in.

I have a friend who was a 747 captain, who is now training to fly that plane for Northwest Airlines.

Yeah. imagine that - leaving the country and seeing the world!

Hard to comprehend for inbred white trash like yourself isn't it Odin?

Why buy a plance ticket and travel when you could buy some ugly rims, a flanny, ugg boots and a hotted up Commodore? :1orglaugh

huuuuuuuuge :) nice pics

:1orglaugh Spot the Aussie :1orglaugh

I would love to fly that HUGE plane.

thats fucking huuuuge

A380 Spec

That's insanely large!!

LOL I like this pic here... reminds me of a little kid that is trying to hide in his all time fave hiding spot but has grown too large for it.... "I can't see you so you can't see me" is sorta what popped into my mind...

Quantus better order 12 new hangers too!
Wonder if there will be Birger King or KFC on board?

This flight to Australia is just a test flight. Scheduled commercial flights will not begin until late next year. The only North American airlines that have ordered one so far are Fedex and UPS so unless you are flying cargo you will be flying a foreign airline for the near future. Most US airlines are too cash strapped and have a different business model, where they focus more on frequency.

And although it could possibly have a gym, shop, food, etc on board except most airlines to pack it with as many economy seats as possible. $$$

They don't call it a airbus for nothing ;)

Nice pics mate, I heard on late news tonight that it's doing a stint down this way in Melb in few days time.

-N

Any idea when? I'm only 15 mins drive from the airport. I wonder which runway it's landing on, I know of two spots where the aircraft passes directly over you...

you wouldn't be so fucking ignorant if you were to watch TLC or the Discovery Channel.

I bet every arab got a hard on looking at that plane, trying to figure out how to blow one out of the sky :thumbsup

holy fuck that is big

Can't wait for those babies to fly full time will be on one of em asap.

Yea, the A380 was in Frankfurt as well. It is one BIG plane.
