Off topic to be sure but it's been slow here and I know there are other pilots on the list. There was a piece on the news this evening showing the first ever Airbus A380. Talk about huge! Two decks. 550+ passengers. 560,000 kg gross take off mass. 80 meter wing span. "Aluminum overcast". 'Course, big as it is, the A380's wing span is still about 17 meters shorter than the Hughes H-4. Anybody wanna go fly? Patrick
