More A380 Tidbits For the Superfan

By now you've learned a lot about the A380, after its American invasion and all, but there's additional worthy coverage out there for the true enthusiast. Popular Mechanics managed to weasel their way onto the big bird, and survived with some great video to show for it. They loved the bar, the powerful feel at takeoff, and the upper deck, among other things. Though the configuration was Airbus' and not Lufthansa's, the coverage indicates that the possibilities for airline customization are looking good. Click through for Ben Chertoff's full review.

Also interesting is the somewhat awkwardly named Touch-Down A380 USA, a blog maintained by Lufthansa employees. It's full of the same wide-eyed enthusiasm for aviation found in most other sources, including Jaunted. Now, please excuse us while we go write the plane a fan letter and ask for an autograph. Those wings are prehensile and can autograph for us, no?
