I'm just as much an aviation gonzo as anybody, but I can't see camping
out around the airport fence to watch the 380 fly in...

Flav8R,

I still say "If it ain't Boeing it ain't going".


You saying "the earth is flat" would be about as meaningful.

Listen here, I just watched the new trailer for "Pirates of the Caribbean"
and according to Jerry Bruckheimer the earth is flat.

So there...the earth is flat.
Otherwise when you would fly straight and level you'd end up in space.

I was in the air and saw it.

Cool photos, K. Reminds me of the last time I flew over JFK. I saw
what was probably the last Concorde landing there from about 3,000 ft.

Nor I. Either there are a lot more pathologically fanatic aviation fans in
Los Angeles than I thought, or the airport is being extremely optimistic in
its predictions of public interest.

There are already about two billion photos of the A380 on airliners.net.

I was watching the Lufthansa flight on flightaware and waiting for 8940
to contact JFK approach on liveatc.net. One thing I thought was
interesting was the exchange

LH8940: JFK Approach Lufthansa 8940 Super descending to 12000 with PAPA
(or whatever the ATIS was).
Approach: Lufthansa 8940 Heavy descend and maintain 12000 cross XXX at
12000 maintain normal speed.
LH8940: Cross XXX at 12 maintain normal speed, Lufthansa 8940 Super.

What is up with the "Super" qualifier? I can't find that in the AIM. I
find Heavy but not Super. The Lufthansa pilot was very insistent on that.

Considering how much they spent on that airplane, maybe they want a
special callsign?

- or - Maybe some slick Airbus marketing type said they could use it?
