Does anyone know if or when the Airbus A380 is going to make its way to JFK

Well, Airbus must first build the plane. Then an airport will have to
build a terminal to accommodate it.

Last week I saw the new Terminal 4 under construction at Heathrow,
supposedly for the A380. In the nature of public works projects, I
doubt it will be finished in 2006. Maybe 2007? But it's easier to get
things through a European local government than it is in the U.S.

Perhaps they'll deplane the folks out on the JFK tarmac with a
jury-rigged double-decker stairs? That indeed would be something to
see.
