Heads up, some of you may be interested to know that the first flight of the new Airbus A380 'super jumbo' is expected to occur tomorrow (Wedensday).

It happened while I was asleep (in the western US) but I saw the news and images. Most impressive bird. It's supposed to go into service next year for Singapore Airlines and other carriers.....I'd love to fly on the thing. (But probably not in the middle seat in the center row for 12 hours!!)
