How big IS an Airbus 380???

Funny you should ask…

That ‘little’ airplane in front is actually a Boeing 737-800 200 plus seats…

And for perspective, that is a 747-400 on the taxiway behind the A-380!

And of course it’s raining, again… STILL…

Only 26 more hours… Sigh…

How big IS an Airbus 380??? — 7 Comments

  1. There was one at DIA on a promotional a couple of winters ago. Took eight deicing trucks to get it ready for takeoff. An A 340 can be cleaned using two trucks but four works better.

    On a personal note, have been invited back to work the deice crew this coming season. Declined – body isn’t up to it.

  2. I had no idea the A-380 was so big. Of course, my days of international travel are limited compared to what they used to be. Have a safe trip.

  3. WSF- Don’t blame you for that at all…

    Old AF- Yeah, quite the change…

    BP- WAY too long, they cheated to get it approved in the first place!

    Tam- TRUE! 🙂

  4. If it wasn’t for the dang fly-by-wire being able to override the pilot, I’d like the Airbus a lot more.

    But even back in the cheap seats wasn’t too bad a flight from LAX to Narita
