    competitor of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the A380 is designed for non-stop travel across vast distances, such as London to Singapore.
    Competitor of the 787?.....I think not. Gotta love the news :mrgreen:

    some people just seem to always think it's boeing vs. airbus....
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I saw that as well and thought the same thing... Might have to do a trip to BDL to take look at her.

    BDL is a not a bad airport for spotters. They seem under the radar when it comes to all the stuff we get in New York/EWR, but they get alot of JFK diversions, a semi annual B-52 visit and have a resident Caravelle in Airborn colors.

    Additionally they had the last scheduled Tri-Star service in our area (Trade Winds), some unique airlines (MK 747s) and National Guard base.

    They also had the first visit of a AN225 to the US I believe.

    Glad the Whale Jet will make an appearance now as well.

    A lot of us took a day off from work when it came to JFK, so you wouldn't be the first :D

    Well I went up last night and stayed at a Day's Inn right by the airport and met up with Raj earlier this morning. It was a shame the weather was bad when she came in and of course it opened up literally 3 minutes after she had touched down. :roll:

    But finally I have seen the beast and she is gorgeous!

    A special thanks to Raj for showing us around and helping us out. :)
