Blah, I would want to fly in that beast. But not in Coach I or Coach II.. Maybe in Business or First. But that'll be some coin..

I'll just wait till I'm the FO. =P

I prefer Turboprops

to anything but I still think this is a beautiful machine...

Can't wait till the testing and certification starts! The A380's first flight, if I can assist to it, will be a moment to remember!

Cheers

woolypilot - wouldn't it just be your luck to fly one of those big suckers and then they make you unload the baggage. OH, my aching back. WOW.
Well, shit happens.

Still pales in comparison next to the new Queen Mary! Now that is one big piece of machinery! Difference between the Airbus and the new Queen Mary....the Queen Mary will probably make money for its owners!

The QM II is a very impressive ship...Too bad Alstom Marine had to slave their employees like that to honor the contract!! If not, the ship's price would have gone way beyond the 1.25 Billion CAD...

I guess we're living the Mammoth's era.

Inauguration Day...

Anyone knows if any canadian airports decided to adapt their structures to welcome the 380? I remeber hearing YUL and YVR mention it a few years back!

Cheers

My what a fascinating thread. Maybe you can let me know when Cessna plans a new cargo mod for the C-208. I'm sure glad I can sleep without thinking of airplanes. Get a life and out of your parents basement. bang head

Can't wait to see the check-in, customs, car rental, and baggage claim lines this thing will create. Bigger isn't always better.

to bad C3 isnt around anymore they would have packed 900 pax in that bad boy

Im pretty Sure YVR can handle it or is upgrading as we speak.

After reading your PM I stand by what I said. First of all I was not looking for a "fight" Second you don't know anything about me so don't tell me what I like and don't. Third you don't know who I fly for so don't tell me what my company is like there are 3 Falcon 900s in YYC. Fourth 8 of the threads are your own so you don't have to remind us all the time of this "milestone" There is nothing worse then a thread brought back from the dead by the poster.

With all that said it's just my opinion. Don't take it to heart people have crucified my threads as well.
