HI there all :-)
As a person who is aspired in aviation and hope one day will be accepted as a cadet i would like to know something from this Antonov and A380. I just manage to grab few info of antonov and A380. Hope all of you can help me to add more information regarding both of this SUPERJUMBO airplanes! :-) seriously i was really amazed when i Antonov with its 18 wheels took off and the twin engine A380 took off recently! Even though now most airlines are going for medium capacity and Long Range airplanes we still need to salute the engineering feat of this two gigantious planes !

Good day all ! :-) and thanks in advance
