Taxied past the 'liner of dreams' 2day at Tulla, didn't look anything too flash in fact if it where painted in crappy QF colours it would have looked like an old outdated B767 I reckon. Dangerous looking donks too, sharp edges on the back of 'em:-) At least the A380 achieved one thing, they made the ugliest 'dugong' plane around !
When you think about it mankind has come virtually no further than the day the Wright boys where fiddling with powered flight. We still need wings to fly, we still need engines to push 'em fwd & we still need lots of space to operate them.We've improved on safety,speed & comfort, nothing much else other than movement by mass.

What's next?
