Good bit of kit that A380, think it's rocked the boat a bit at Boeing, see the Boeing UK guy on the news playing it down??

Boeing are wayyy behind Airbus to be honest, just look at their new 737, the new gen, still ages behind the Airbus technology from the 80's in it's rival the A320.

Awesome aircraft
