It is beyond understanding how an Airbus Demo Crew that knows this airport, runs the wing into a building during an airshow. :-? |
Well, it's also unbelievable that baggage carts get stuck into engines, trained pilots land at wrong airports or forget about deployed groundspoilers when going around, isn't it? Others mix up metric and imperial units and some SW Captain tells the whole frequency about his "personal view on aviation personnel". ;D
Things happen and as the A380 is in service since some years (and will be for some more, in growing numbers), we can raise an eyebrow on this incident and continue to fly/work/watch because it happened once on how many flights? Thousands.
As long as the investigation doesn't conclude that the plane drove itself into that building I'm pretty ok.
Virgin Atlantic had some nice slogans back in the days as the A340-600 was the longest (and in their understanding biggest) airplane.

| Slogans Over the years, Virgin has used many slogans, including: "Mine's Bigger Than Yours" Written on the back of the Airbus A340-600s because they were the longest passenger aircraft in the world[20] The new title of the longest passenger aircraft will be claimed by the Boeing 747-8 when it officially enters passenger service in 2011. |
;D :P

;D Who knows? Lets form a conspiracy rumour. ;D I think they are trying to make room for their new biggy.
(that's what Google returned for the 797 by the way)
