Message	came home and had pics in my inbox from one of my old bosses. I worked on a portion of the Airbus A380 program when I was up in illinois last winter/spring... Turns out everything went pretty well. My boss went to Europe (France, blech) for the first airframe section unveiling. This is one of 5 main sections... Anyway, this plane is going to be a *MONSTER*. It seats roughly 800 folks (not including staff and crew) and will only be able to take off and land at a few airports world wide. thought yall might get a kick out of it. (and yes, it is real... google up "Airbus A380") (I sure hope my part of the program is successful... you should too :) "As the Z32 gets older and decreases in value it becomes affordable by lower income and often less desirable people whose tastes reflect their personality and social standing.- Marshall 17:37:05 10/10/03 Petz #3
