Why is it every second post compares the 787 to the A380? It is like comparing a panel van to a Mac truck!

I even had someone discussing the fact that the 787 had bigger wing flex than the A380....fancy that! Would it be because the A380 has an extra 2 engines on the outer wing weighing it down? Or the fact that the A380 wing is designed to carry twice the weight of the 787? Dah!

The wing flex is impressive on the 787, very nice to watch, lovely to see it finally in the air...must say, the best flex until now had been on the A330, and it is lovely to see the A330 and 787 flex wings like some overgrown glider or super metal bird itching to get airborne.

Exciting times ahead!
