An Airbus A380 of German airline Lufthansa rolls over a bridge after it landed at the airport in Schkeuditz near Leipzig in eastern Germany on June 1, 2010. The German national football team will use an A380 when they travel on June 6, 2010 to South Africa to take part in the 2010 Football World Cup.

Airbus 380 = HUGE

I saw one of these for the first time on Friday, from the window of a 757 on the tarmac at Sea-Tac. It's hard to describe how big this aircraft is, but getting the scale of the cars and roadway in this picture really helps.

I've seen this at LAX. Not an Airbus. A 747. It's still daunting. There you are, inching along in LAX traffic as an enormous airliner just rolls past on the bridge overhead.

        I saw a Quantas A380 at Heathrow a few months ago, from the window of a 737. They are amazingly huge.

            I saw one in Athens, Greece last week. It was beautiful against the meditarranean terrain and blue sunny skies.
