SLF here: what a beautiful looking plane. I have to agree with deScally, the 380 is an amazing bit of kit, and I have flown it a number of times and it is a great plane to fly on, but it is one ugly mother!

Have to say that the lines of the wing on rotation looks amazing.
Great to see the landing was in the right spot, unlike the A380 that used half the runway to get the nice landing. Great job.

Those British engines (hooray!) were so quiet what sound they made was pretty much drowned out by the helicopters and the T33 chase planes.
It might have been the camera angle - but did anyone else think those T33s looked a bit too close for comfort - especially on the landing?

The Boeing PR johnny who commentated live on the (Ba)Dreamliner's first flight deserves congratulations for managing to omit even the merest hint that the event was two and a half years late.

In the post fright press conference, the pilot reporting retracting the gear, then being relieved when they extended it again. Sound like they cycled the gear twice. Cloud prevented them from doing a lot of the scheduled tests.
