A380 Fly-by!

WFSB just had a report of the landing at BDL, and gave us a glimpse of the
inside. Made B747s look small

This morning, at ~ 0800 EDT, I got to watch the A380 make a low pass
of a Pratt & Whitney facility, complete with a wing wave!

Damn... That thing is BIG. (Coming from a guy who regularily sees
C-5's in flight!).

I haven't see the A380, but it seem to be almost identical in length
to the 747.

There is video of the A380's landing at LAX floating around. As
it is rolling out and taxiing you can see it next to a couple of B744s
and A340s. It definitely dwarfs a B744.
