Anyone spotted any other media inaccuracies about the 380 today?
Not so much an 'inaccuracy' ... more of a 'where have you been for the past decade?'

The female presenter on Sky must have missed Airbus announcing they were thinking of building a double deck aircraft .... Airbus confirming they were going to build a double deck aircraft .... the leaders of half of Europe at the unvielling of Airbus's new double deck aircraft ... tens of thousands of people at the first flight of Airbus's new double deck aircraft.

To then come up out with a statement full of total surprise that the big white thing that just landed at Heathrow 'has got a lower deck' ... shear class!! My seven year old has a fantastic career in journalism in front of him, 'cos he knew more about this aircraft than this presenter of the U.K.s 'top' news station.
