well, mabye airbus will think twice about building the biggest civilian aircraft, which for now is still reserved for boeing, thank you.

Urmmm test flight will be in 2 months. What are they going to think twice about? They discussed redevelopment with every Major airport that would likely see the A380. Those airports agreed knowing the higher landing fees and extra passengers woulld repay the costs. Now if some airport isnt ready for the plane that said they would be, then they only have themselves to blame. Airbus wont have a problem with a couple of airports in the US not being ready as most operators weren't looking to fly the bulk of them there anyway.

Considering the A380 has already been built I can't really see where you're coming from there.

It's the biggest of something and it was designed and built somewhere other than in Seattle.  To some people this is a big deal.

HS146/Avro RJ series would probably win that one...

no way, Concorde beats them all!

Nay. The Tu-154 is waaaay better.

Yep, Concorde now must be one of the quietest aircraft of them all...
