P.S. Not a lot of comments from the US about the A380 now it flies.

Nothing extraordinary to comment on. Big is not new. The 380 is only a few
feet larger than a 747; beefier, longer wing for the weight, but essentially
they've just added a second floor. New design challenges, 'tis true, but
the real question is where it will fly, and how often, and how full, to pay
for itself.
