Thanks for some sense 747FOCAL'
MarkD, just because a company is buying 380s doesnt mean they wont want the 747ADV. Comparing the two as if they are competitors is like saying the 757 is a competitor to the 767. Lets look ar one company--SIA. They have about 50 747-400s right now and want to sell them as they are considered 'guzzlers.' They are buying 10 A380s which dont replace the 50 747s. Does that leave space for a few 747ADV or not. I dont have a crystal ball but companies will buy the plane and it will fill a niche.
