Thanks for sharing the pics, awesome plane. Have seen it a couple of times now and is only currently flying the Singapore Sydney leg not Singapore Melbourne (where I am) so I might have to wait a little bit longer to go on it.

It is a lovely plane, but it is not the biggest out there at the moment.
Take a look at this plane. It is the biggest in the world!! And I mean HUGE!! Size wise this is bigger than the pitch at wembley stadium and holds 30 tonnes of petrol. It's a miracle that it stays up!

Dont go on it !

I made parts for the under carriage and wings ! and that was about 7 years ago !

Tis an awesome machine though (just hope the landing gear works as I made parts of the safety device to ensure the wheels to down too )

the amount i heard about that plane from officials from Airbus and others when i worked for Nasymth....thats the least of the worries

I met a few of the french designers last year. they looked like they just stepped off the catwalk with their designer gear on and their catolgue poses while talking to you lol. still nice enough blokes

its funny when i first saw/went on that plane its big but very stumpy its weird. not as big as i thought

I didnt think it was going to get airbourne for a minute
I wonder how fast it has to go before it can start to take of?

Nice pics Alex
I got a few snaps when it landed at my place earlier this year. I wish we had the fine weather you did! It was hazy as hell and the pics suffered
I love the shape of the wings

It is as it runs on aviation fuel, commonly known as kerosine.

You're joking right??? Never knew that smart arse.

It needs 3500 metres of runway to take off.
