You won't catch me in a plane either if I have anything to do with it. I suffer from air sickness, sea sickness, car sickness. I even get sick in a lift. Apart from that I am 1.83m tall and am always so %^$?@ uncomfortable in planes, that I prefer to drive all the way to the South of France instead of flying (I am never sick when I am driving!!!)
:shakeshea :mrgreen: :dead:

It's a freakin cruise ship with wings:exclamati

Closest I'll probably get to it is in FS2004. Hear they're going to have to lengthen some runways in a few cities just to accomodate it.

I believe the Russians have the record though. It's a cargo plane, the Anotov
AN-225

I saw a docu in about 2000 on the A380, it was just been developed at that stage and many were saying it was going to be make or break for Airbus. 5 yrs on and its reality and from what i read the sales a very promising.
Not only do they have to lengthen some runways but they also have to re-enforce it to take the massive weight.
cheers :) :)
