When was this? :) Looks like a demonstration plane.

Just a few days ago at the Paris Airshow

If you look a little bit down this forum you'll see this towing incident is already being discussed in the "Bad day for Airbus/EADS in le Bourget" thread.

Photoshop...a great trap for the unwary! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/nerd.gif

Ask yourself this...when would an A380 be taxying on the grass?! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/badteeth.gif


Looks like there is a narrow taxiway to me.

I think there are a few questions you should be asking yourself.

I am not familiar with the A380. Do they have remote cams at the wingtips ? Is there any other way to monitor wingtip clearance from the cockpit ? If not, should they be thinking about installing such cams ?

Now do you think if the building had a high viz vest on they would have noticed it

Does that say Boeing on the back of his jacket? :}

Guess who had the last laugh!

I just love the way the wingtip is still stuck in the building :p
