You couldn't pay me enough to be on that aircraft. If it was something
smaller, like a C-130, maybe, but not that monster aircraft.

How do you feel about the Airbus A380?

This kind of experimental gear and the A380, hell no. Overall, the guys
that take off on that first flight of any aircraft straddle the line between
bravery and insanity. I never even liked flying post-maintenance check
flights of aircraft I'd been flying for years, let alone one that's never
left the ground except in a computer simulation, or worse on some engineers
sliderule.
