Sounds like the rumor about UPS cancelling its A380F orders is true.

Which, it seems, should cause Airbus to re-evaluate that idea. Wasn't the A380F a significantly large part of the program? With no buyers, that could be a problem...

Airbus accomplished their goal. They built a plane bigger than the Americans 747.
The problem of course is nobody wants a plane bigger than a 747. Can you say problem identification malfunction!
This plane comes to mind. Maybe they'll build a hanger next to the Spruce Goose so folks can see two very large planes that made no sense what so ever at once.

The portfolio includes 12 Boeing 747-400 freighters, the largest commercial cargo aircraft, with UPS expected to confirm this week that it has cancelled the sole remaining order for the Airbus A380F. Sweet .... anyone know where we can get a good photoshop of an A380 going down in flames?
