The 380
It certainly is impressive. From an aviation fan's point of view, it's a pleasant surprise really, I had thought the age of huge airliners was over. Watching something that massive takeoff and land is surreal. Which begs the question: Isn't the age of huge airliners over? I thought the trend was towards smaller, regional operations. Finding 500 or so people who all want to go to the same place at the same time seems challenging today, especially since the 380 will only service major hubs. Airbus is viewing this as a clear advantage over Boeing. I wonder if Boeing isn't just holding their cards a little better right now.
