Interesting video to see. Around here, we kind of have to root for the other team (since Boeing is still a major part of the local economy) but it doesn't matter who's doing it, it's amazing that you can get something that huge to fly.

I believe Boeing were offered the contract on the A380, but they declined for some reason or other. Some USA airports have to be modified to accept the wing span of the A380 as do European airports.

Watching those parts being constructed and put together kinda scares me, I was kinda hoping God was putting together the plane himself
