Looks like a fuel sucking bitch but if launching sats it might be cost effective.

Got to see an Airbus 380 in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. Now, that's a lot of airplane. Smiler

That's right over the hill from here.

The article says six used Pratt & Whitney, 747 engines so that would be the old JT9s.

Have to wonder why they even put windows in the port side cockpit.

Looks like it would be interesting to land...


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

A. E. Housman
