The Big Girl has arrived...

At long last, Singapore Airlines took delivery of the first A380 this week. The plane arrived about two years late due to production issues and wiring difficulties for the mammoth giant. Still, the world is anxiously awaiting it's first passenger flight this week on October 25th from Singapore to Sydney. The seats were auctioned off on eBay with the proceeds going to charity.

No U.S. passenger carrier has placed an order for the giant plane. Both UPS and Fedex had placed orders for the cargo version, but as the delays compounded both cancelled their orders. U.S. airports such as New York JFK, Chicago, LAX, and SFO International have all been making modifications to their international terminals to accommodate the enormous aircraft.



Check out the flight deck too!


A very impressive aircraft. This is the largest passenger aircraft to debut since the Boeing 747 in 1970! I look forward to taking a flight on one in the near future.

Hope you have all had a great weekend. I am on the mend from my cold and feeling almost 100%. Cuidate.
