It's kinda wierd looking at that pic...the 380 seems so big by itself, but looks rather 'average' beside the VC-10 ?!?

Comparing my A380 with the C-5 and An-124 I've got, it's only marginally bigger than either of those.  A different comparison is with the Hughes Hercules (Spruce Goose)  This aircraft has a fuselage at least as deep as the A380 and the length of a 747.

Like that the A380 looks a lot like the Vickers V1000 design. - the wing plan is similar, but less sweep at the roots.

It is shorter! 73 m against 75m for the two others... only span is bigger (79.8m, just at the limits of the airports).
There's even a longer airbus, the A340-600 at 75m. An-225 and Spruce Goose still rules giant aircrafts (90m and 97m span!!)

French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Holy thread revival Batman!!

Yes, the A380 is now on its 3rd life!  No pics to show as yet, but this one is well and truly next on the workbench - RAF100 if you haven't already heard ;)

And it`s the most ubercool airplane ever! Too bad the "oh so common" 777-300ER came along and almost sold better than the 777-200! And the A340-600E would be cooler even!
