We have had twin engined widebody gliders over or near the Atlantic some time ago but with this progressive extension of twin ETOPS times surely Sod's Law will cause a ditching, probably in the Pacific? The A380 with twin engines on each wing would be my choice for a long haul, mainly over the water, trip.

PS I listened to some dumb American news reader saying there are so few airports in the USA where the A380 could land. My view is that if it could operate out of relatively tiny Farnborough early on in its life surely nearly any US State airport could handle the A380 - not saying the passengers could get off though!!!! Or get on?
