according to this foto, the Aribus A 380 is on its 3rd rolling

The english term is "taxi test", or maybe "high speed test", not
"rolling".

correcting me.

What a monster.

Since I believe this is war and I'm rooting for my side, I hope the
thing flops. Still, as an aviation buff, I'd love to watch a
touch-and-go.

I like it beeing in service and generating business. There are concerns
IMHO about so many people in one place (check-in, gate, plane) ...

It's a war between the two giant, state-supported airliner mfrs. The
winner will dominate the business and the loser's country will suffer
economically.

Actually, the 380 would likely be a boon to the economy around here
(Mobile, Alabama) because Brookley Field would probably get a lot of
maintenance and component manufacturing business. Overall, though, if
the 380 is a big success it will hurt Boeing and the U. S.

I seem to remember that when the 747 was introduced, there were
*excactly* the same concerns.

it _will_ hurt Boeing, but I doubt that it will hurt the US. Such big
companies think global, so they spread maintainance, parts, etc. all over
the world. IMHO
