Sure, planes nowadays have more flat screens and computers, but when one compares the first 50 years of aviation to the last, stuff really advanced fast in the beginning :)//Tuomas

7E7 is going to be cool, I'm somewhat disappointed that they didnt go ahead with the Sonic Cruiser, that would be really cool. Airplanes have looked the same for very long, and the A380 is no different, just bigger. One of the reasons I like the 747, because it looks different in a "magestic" sorta way.I'm excited about the first view of the 380 though, I'll be at the end of the runway waiting for that one:) I'll even go to work if it's my day off.One thing I cant shake out of my mind. So much hype around this huge airplane being superior to anything else, I cant help but drawing a line back to 1912 and the launching of the Titanic. Same hype then.That's a scary thought though and I shouldnt think that way, but I cant help it. See the resemblance?As for noses, I think the A318/19 has a very cute nose. Probably my favorite.

Thats why I tell you .. just having a look at the 380 while it taxis by. On the other hand, bring on lots of these 7E7's! And I will enjoy (fingers crossed) being a passenger in one some day!

I would still fly the A380 though. I'm up for the experience of it. Always looking for a new experience, especially where aircrafts are concerned.
