Even the Pro,s charged with showing off the A380 get it wrong sometimes!

Amazing what these airframes can take, I feel less guilty!

No kidding,! Seeing that also makes me feel better about some if my landings

I'm sorry, but even with its truly massive size, the A380 is an ugly aircraft. there is little elegance about it, to my eye.

I live about 95mi south of Oshkosh and would love to go to the EAA Venture this year, but have time conflicts with work/family events. Next year!

Ha, my friend Dan actually saw that landing, He said there was a bit of buzz about it for a little while. I love how it looks like all 4 engines were hanging off the runway O_o

Dan didn't say anything to me about it but watching that video, that was a brutal landing. My -3500 one a few months back was harder but its incredible that it is still flyable.

And I also agree that the A380 is just a horrendously ugly aircraft. Nothing at all like the 744 or even the 752, one of the prettiest airliners of all time in my opinion.

I'll call your 752 and raise you a 752 w/ winglets!
