Michael’s music is good, and I was a fan back in ’84 before he had all that crap done to his person. Arrogance, stereotypical, or otherwise. Jacko is a freak, period.

Greekdude, i think you’ll see a couple of Qantas A380s in there everyday

I think my last post was a little vague, Steve. What I meant by “I’m guessing there won’t be any more than one there at any given time,” I was only referring to AF parked at terminal 5. It will be impossible to park 2 A380’s at that terminal, and still have enough room to accomodate DL’s aircraft (T5 is solely theirs at LAX, plus a few Skyteam members). QF operates out of the Bradley Intl terminal, which will have plenty of room to accomodate the A380’s at its remote gates. Given that there are as many as 4 QF 744’s parked on the ramp at LAX at any given time, I don’t doubt that there will be a couple of A380’s substituting in the near future.

Possible merger w/ Easyjet in the near future, perhaps?

At what side of the globe is this route operated; via canada or via europe?

Which route are you referring to, the SIN-EWR non-stop route? If so, it goes directly over the poll, according to SQ’s website. 18 hours in each direction. SIN-LAX is operated over the Pacific, not Europe.

Totally off the suject but it looks like there is a lot of building work going on in the city with all the cranes.

I’ve been going to Sydney 1-2 times a year since 1999, and there is always construction going on in downtown. That is why it is, in my opinion, the nicest downtown of any major metro city that I have been to, and I’ve been to a good handlful.

I think that shot was taken from the observation deck. It was not in operation yet when I was last there in April. I’m definitely going to go up there next time down in Dec. perhaps.

The remote gates at the Bradley terminal at LAX will be able to handle it. The main gates at Bradley will not, I don’t think, unless they space them out. If that happens, you’re eliminating parking spaces, however. I’m guessing they are just going to park them at remote. Terminal 5 might be able to handle one of AF’s A380’s. I’m also guessing there won’t be any more than one there at any given time.

That is very large, indeed. Rather impossible to view all at once.

Looks like it undershot the runway. Is that dirt or concrete in front of the aircraft?
