Those A380 pilots are probably still not used to that huge wing span. Here is a clip of the 747-8i' entrance.
PS. No buildings were harmed in the making of this film.

This A380 has now been repaired,apparently, and will be on static display at Le Bourget. A Korean Airlines example will take part in the flying display.

Tough Wing...

Not engine fire, nor building, can take on the A380 wing and win...

Haven't gotten used to seeing a Boeing in almost-Air Berlin corporate colour, I did like the previous blue.
Still, an impressive bird, the 747-8.

Boeing has a major headache in the A320neo...the 737 undercarriage is too short to allow a bigger fan.
It already has used up all Boeing's ingenuity in that amazing squashed nacelle.
They need a new airframe design, which is a problem given the 787 is hogging resources.

I believe Boeing announced that they were going to design a 737-replacement about a year ago. Obviously, it got the backburner trying to fix the 787. Perhaps they'd be better off waiting until the 787 is on track and cutting it down.

Is that 380 on grass? I wouldn't have thought anything but a hard surface could support that weight.

Looks like it is right on the edge of the asphalt taxi way.
