Big, impressive but stonecold ugly to me... :P
Just compare the technical drawings of the 747 and the 380. The last one seems to have abig lump on its head.
Oh well, still an impressive piece of engineering! Now I wanna see it fly!

Still not as cool as the Antonov An-225...but Ozzy would probably take it under a bridge just the same...

I saw it on the news this morning, they said it seats over 500, has a bar, lounge, and the first class seats fold out to complete beds! I still cant get over how friggin huge it is.

WOW :o...You never realize how BIG something is until its standing next to a crowd of people...
Even though I'm more of a Boeing fan, I'm very impressed with this giant....
Cant wait to see it when it flies for FedEx...They'll be flyin' right over my house 8)

Yuck.... :-/
She doesn't look graceful or majestic... only grotesquely large. It's not like the new scarebus is an amazing innovation either... there are planes equal to and bigger than it in size!
However, the engines are awesome and the livery is kinda cool too!
