The A380 makes the BUFF look sleek and elegant.

In Heaven, all the chefs are French, the policemen are British, and the engineers are German...

But in Hell, all the chefs are British, the policemen are German, and the engineers are French...

I agree...”If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going!”

For the record, is Nickel Hydrazine Perchlorate your sister? Aunt?

Crack is a great stress reliever - until it breaks!

Just put some extra pop rivets in them and a little duct tape around the edges. They’ll be fine.

I flew on an Air France A380 in August traveling between Washington and Paris, cashing in some Delta Sky Miles for the trip. Really enjoyed myself; glad I didn’t know about the cracks in the wings.

But in Hell, ...

...the cruise-ship captains are Italian.

I’ve actually seen that plane landing, in light winds (10-15 mph) you have about a million pounds bouncing like a tennis ball. IMO, IT’S TOO BIG!!!

I’ll take my chances with an Italian steamship rather than get on one of those....
