I prefer Boeing :hide:
Though the Lufthansa hanger with 3 A380s in it that I visited was most enjoyable.
However their first class is not so wonderful.

You're turning into Sir C

Seat 26B, Air Emirates business class is like my home away from home :-(
The A380 is a fat, inelegant tub of lard. I, for one, will not mourn its passing.Quote:

I think of no person as inferior to me, never have.
I simply fail to grasp how a person may mourn the loss of a plane, or a car as another example - even when one has an interest in said things.
The fault here would appear to lie with your lack of imagination, I'm afraid.Quote:

I'm afraid I have to agree with the swivel eyed old brexopath here s. The VC10, four big fúck off engines ON THE TAIL made it somehow majestic looking. A sort E-Type of jet planes.Quote:

A functional piece of machinery, albeit a magnificent feat of engineering, that serves a purpose.
Kind of like a car, but without the boot space for the big shop.
