A380

Nice photos! That thing is a behemoth!

BTW, nice name in your signature. Ever get crap for having two first names? I do all the time:smile:

 

I shot this in Dubai a few months ago

Nice shots Bill, You out at Oshkosh this week?

 

Very nice shots. Thanks for posting.

 

The same bird shot on 2 separate dates recently.

 

You see the huge plane...then you look at how big the engines are compared to the plane. Wow.

 

Nan & I flew from Dubai to JFK on an Emirates A380 in April. The flight lasted 13 1/2 hours. I should have taken some photos :redface:, but I figured there were plenty around since it had been in service for a year, then I found out only 9 had been delivered! 

There are 400 economy seats on the lower level where we were. All the high priced seats are on the upper deck which we did not see. I understand that First Class even has a shower. They used three boarding ramps. We had plenty of room since the flight was only about 1/4 full, it would have been crowded and ugly if full.

One thing I noticed, on the ground the wings really sag. The tips are down maybe 8 to 10 feet from where they are in-flight.
