My God the A380 is ugly

Just wait until you see the beast in person, ugly, but, big...

Oh yeah, does this look like the A380?

So I take it you will leave your camera home that day?

No, I'll want to document history. Your comment goes under the assumption that the reason that we take photos is almost solely for Anet and JP acceptances and hits on their sites.

I'd be taking pics of the A380 that day because I want to have my own shot of that magical day. WillI upload? Probably, if it comes out ok. But even if the conditions suck for Anet uploads, I'm obviously still going to take a picture of it.

That's very true, bunch of hypocrites... :wink: I bet that if it would be a Boeing aircraft most of the prejudice would be dropped, as for the looks, it's your tatste which is nothing I can argue about.

I saw the A380 at the Paris Airshow & yes, I took pictures! But, that does not mean that it is a pretty bird...

If the aircraft was a Boeing produced A380, it would still be ugly..... :D

Phil nailed it, it will be witnessing history.

I heard and read about Concorde's first flight into NY and how there was a "staircase" of helocopters along either end of the glidepath, watching Concorde first come into NY.

I would imagine a similar entrance.

I'll def be out to see it, the size of this thing just has to be seen. I'm shocked when I see it side by side with the A340.

appreciate the shot. I could only dream somthing that big in US colors I think :(

I took this photo last year, it had a Security Guard near the A380, so, that you have an idea as to how big the A380 is.....
