Interesting. I read somewhere that it's actually rather "light on its
feet"
because it has so many wheels...



Apparently so. Runways in france have recently required extensive
reinforcement to accommodate the B777-300 - works which were apparently
not
mandated for the A380.

The Max Takeoff weight of the 777-300 is 660,000#s the A380 is 1,235,000.

Maybe the reason the work was not mandated for the A380 is that there is
only one flying



No - As cited above, it's the number of wheels.
