[AA 777]

competitor of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the A380 is designed for non-stop travel across vast distances, such as London to Singapore.


Competitor of the 787?.....I think not. Gotta love the news :mrgreen:

some people just seem to always think it's boeing vs. airbus....

For once we will be heading to CT for spotting. I am looking forward to this. Please keep the info coming...

I saw that as well and thought the same thing... Might have to do a trip to BDL to take look at her.

BDL is a not a bad airport for spotters. They seem under the radar when it comes to all the stuff we get in New York/EWR, but they get alot of JFK diversions, a semi annual B-52 visit and have a resident Caravelle in Airborn colors.

Additionally they had the last scheduled Tri-Star service in our area (Trade Winds), some unique airlines (MK 747s) and National Guard base.

They also had the first visit of a AN225 to the US I believe.

Glad the Whale Jet will make an appearance now as well.

Finally a chance to see the A380! :)

Luckily BDL is only about a 1hr30mn drive from my house.

Hm, shame it's a Tuesday/Wednesday.

Guess I'll be missing some school!

[njgtr82]

Anyone still going?

[Iberia A340-600]

I'm planning on heading up there tomorrow night and seeing her arrive on Tuesday morning.

A lot of us took a day off from work when it came to JFK, so you wouldn't be the first :D

[stuart schechter]

And I will be up there on the 6th to be at the AOPA expo. Darn, I can't miss school.

[Iberia A340-600]

Well I went up last night and stayed at a Day's Inn right by the airport and met up with Raj earlier this morning. It was a shame the weather was bad when she came in and of course it opened up literally 3 minutes after she had touched down. :roll:

But finally I have seen the beast and she is gorgeous!

A special thanks to Raj for showing us around and helping us out. :)
