Went to see the A380 at 7am this morning and took some pics of the plane.
It was flying about 300 feet at 8 am which went round 2 times.
about 68th floor of the IFC building (tallest building in HK right Now). IFC is 88 floors in total.
The plane is very quite no sound almost.
Pics I took today

I can't see the repair on the end of the wing. Well done. 
In Bangkok the wing was damaged when they tried to park in a hangar that was not wide enough (Thai Airways promotion).
That thing is huge, I have seen it live. Ugly, but huge!
And I admit, I'm a fan of the 747 too.

iceman, were you in Bangkok lately? I just saw the A380 parked around the Thai Airway hangar last weekend. Were you in bangkok??
I own a travel agency, that's why I get all the updates and know about the incident.
I have seen tha A380 on its first flight to Frankfurt am Main.

Boeing 747-400 is the most optimal solution (fuel economy vs. cargo load vs speed) for 3 decades. If anything could do better, Boeing already did it.
Still love Boeing 747-400

Glad that you vote for Boeing. Otherwise, your boss will call you to his office
