Do
you know if it landed at JFK?

This one didn't, direct from France to Bradley.

It landed at BDL??? I didn't think that field could accommodate the
380. Airnav has the max runway weight on 6/24 at 710,000 w/DDT gear.
Empty weight is 608,000 with who knows how much fuel left after a
direct flight from Toulouse - they musta been pretty close on the
weight I'd guess...

With a 40 person "crew" and a bunch of water drum pax.

P&W and Hamilton Sunstrand employees got a tour and close up view
while it was parked on a deicing pad.

The 14 year old kid was fun: 'Why yes, this is what I always do before
school.'

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!).

Look close. Probably the biggest coffin you will see for a while.

If I do any more airline traveling, will not fly on a 380.
