Try that :)

DH

awesome
is that a company intern test flight or are those "civilians" ? ;)

cool :thumbsup

doubt they are civilians

That looks incredible. Transatlantic / pacific flights only I assume?
WG

Pretty sweet!

very cool, But now terrorists have bigger planes to crash

doesnt even look like the plane is moving.............

Generally yes WG - passenger loading is 550 - 850 and designed to carry them 5500 - 8000 kilometers, so long-haul flights.

Been waiting for this for long enough and prob be able to use em within 5 years or so - new international airport is already under construction locally with an extra 5000 meters of runway to take the A380.

that looks really cool

Sweeet. Can't wait for that.

That looks awesome :)

But the AFF ads were showing me some aweful looking chicks, lol.

nice :thumbsup

Cant wait to try it :thumbsup

Actually, the A380 has been all over the world a number of times, including a recent visit to Canada (Vancouver) and stops in the arctic in the past for cold weather testing.

I posted a really cool video a while back of them doing crosswind test landings, with the plane coming in literally at a 45 degree angle, and pivoting on a single set of back wheels just as it touched down to point straing down the runway... very cool.

The first passenger flight was about 2 months ago, all people from the factories in europe.

That plane has more bugs that a version 0.001 cms software package.

Looks like you've been into a relaxing flight, guys. :)

no workie still

Whow, nice interiour!

How many people will join the mile high club on that thing in the 1st year of operation...

I'm saying at least 1000

Webmaster Access, Europe. GFY Warm Up Party.


:pimp :pimp :pimp

Don't hold your breath, the A380 just got clearance to fly commercial flights only a week or so ago. Airbus has been plagued with delays, they are about two years behind schedule with several airlines canceling orders.

QANTAS won't see one on the LAX SYD/MEL route until the end of 2008 at the earliest :(

What a way to die.

same goes for driving etc

Looks nice but what about reliability?

big fuckin plane

that shit is huge

i was told the first company that will be flying one is Singapore air and it will be put on the London->Singapore route. but thats just what i heard.

it doesn't really look that much nicer then NWA/KLM biz class on their newer and larger planes. Boeing rules :)

Thats NOICE

Wow nice

saw some pics of HK airport with the 380. Looks sweet, wonder when its gonna do Europe - US

thats one big fucking plane! :o

That is fantastic.

looks nice!!

Ah...it looks too modern for me...old WW2 ones would be better :winkwink:

Holy fuck, that's simply crazy! You can sleep like a baby :)

That looks awesome, very roomy :)

This plane is in a league of its own

very cool indeed...wonder how much the biz/1st class seats will go for though

Airbus 380 huh? well i think it's a nice plane with good seats and great looking crews...wonder how much does it cost? hmmmm....:winkwink: :winkwink:

Cool!! :thumbsup

Thats cool, it somehow made me awake! hehehehe

well i love to fly in comfort but this is over the top. I guess there will be only very few airlines that will take this delux version. I just name it like that. But if you want to fly first class then i am sure you will enjoy your flight. Well i do not always fly first class but some times but i guess business class will also be fine in this plane.

Looks pretty nice..

That's a nice looking bird on the inside.
