Hi,

This is i'm afraid as we all know the trouble why this aircraft will never be any good as a passenger plane, cargo yes,

There are not many airports that it can use with the double deck and it overhangs the taxiways as well, its like using the Lockheed C5 Galaxy at Heathrow!!

Saying that i live in the South East of the UK and this past week i have seen the 380 nearly every day flying over and she does look a great sight, more so in the Emirates colors,

Just my two pennies

Cheers,

Roger.

This was posted the other day and I repeat my comment at being surprise how fast it was taxiing in a restricted area.

The collision has nothing to do with the A.380's size as they don't collide all the time (is this the first)? and ground collision are quite common.a lack


Air France operates more than one 380 flight a day to NY and up to now they hadn't hit anything so it purely an incident that could happen to any type even though of course it would be easier to do this in a 380 than something smaller.

Sorry Garry , didn't realise it was posted already

My thoughts exactly though , does look like it's taxying too fast to me also !

And I agree it could've been an A330 or B747 and just bad luck or judgement IMO ?

Tony

right Garry , moving very briskly for area. I can't recall the airline that had one of their A380's be the first to have a collision. A building is what it was.
A aircraft repair facility - ironically,..

..... of all thing to hit.

"While I'm here I better get a new wing "

Hey Joe that happened in Bangkok and was caused on push back that damaged the wing tip and was in Airbus colours leased for one flight with THAI

Tony

hey Tony. My ol flying mate - how's things?

Now that you mention it I remember
there was something about a bang ... and a cockup

Or was the cockup first

anyway New wing please! !

Roger.

I cannot see why the double deck is any problem at all. The 747-300 had a very extensive double deck . Just because they were more common in Asia than in Europe does not mean that they were unsuccessful

What is it about the British that causes us to run our products down so much??

P.S. Everyone I know who has flown on it thinks it is a superb passenger aeroplane

Incursions happen

After Crew fatigue and Aging airframes its one of the most important items on the FAA's agenda, JFK is limited on space for taxiways and push back areas, I would have thought the ground controller might have had the wit to hold the RJ's pushback until AFTER the 380 had passed, oh wait a minute, he was probably asleep....
