You couldn't pay me enough to be on that aircraft.  If it was something 
smaller, like a C-130, maybe, but not that monster aircraft.

How do you feel about the Airbus A380?

This kind of experimental gear and the A380, hell no.  Overall, the guys 
that take off on that first flight of any aircraft straddle the line between 
bravery and insanity.  I never even liked flying post-maintenance check 
flights of aircraft I'd been flying for years, let alone one that's never 
left the ground except in a computer simulation, or worse on some engineers 
sliderule.
