Are you going to be there with your anorak and notepad :stuck_out_tongue:

Sad Muppet:D

wasnt for my benefit, was just letting the geeks know about it, as i seen it on bbc… :Whistling:

I tell you what though, geeks or not, this thing is the largest passenger jet in the world, so you will look up when you see it coming in, its fecking HUGEEEEE

Of course you were, bet your zipping up your anorak as we speak :stuck_out_tongue:

of course, its cold today!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Airbus flew the A380 over Wichita last year (it’s too big to land at the local airport and the military base that COULD handle it said no)…a tip of the hat to the aerospace engineers here who helped design it. I rode out that morning to watch…pretty impressive.

It might big and it might be clever but it’s no compensation for the loss of Concorde:doze:

Best none of these sad buggers clog up the m25 on my way home this afternoon like nornally happens:hehe:

sorry i’m a sad bugger, got to say it:

A380, phhhffooooaaarrr! :D:D

very true

factoid for you, my great uncle was a Vulcan pilot in the RAF and flew one of the planes that tested the engines for concorde

for all u plane spotting sado’s the plane has landed about 3 mins ago

Well I miss concorde - I definately think we have gone from black cab to double decker bus on this one.
