That is totally amazing I didn’t know birds could fly at 12,000 feet let alone do that much damage i’m not surprised

I was thinking the same thing. 12,000 feet, wow! What the heck were they doing all the way up there? Also, I’m thinking these birds had to be pretty darn big to be able to penetrate the fuselage in that manner.

Some of the photos are a bit graphic though with all the blood IMO.

Yes, but not at all out of context in a public forum.

I see the white kitty and the mutt get along very well.

Hey Sandy, that’s a nice A380 template. Did you just create that in the last hour or so, or did you have it lying around? Your livery is definitely better than the new Airbus house livery.

Also, EK use theirs as well as their 777’s on routes such as DXB-BAH,Beirut….don’t they?

EK does SYD-AKL on the A345.

Thats the second common sense correction that is actualy wrong on this thread 😀 The first A330 crashed on its test flight at TLS, its just not as well known as the A320 one.

Thank you, I was not aware of that, actually. Did the test pilots survive the A330 crash, at least?

And that point of that is?

I’m wondering the same thing. That is a typical Mark9 post sans all the smiley’s. :diablo:

Oh sure, all us Boeing fans were hoping the A380 would make like the A330 prototype and crash at the end of the runway :rolleyes:

Are you referring to the A320 that crashed into the trees at the end of the runway, and not the A330 Sandy?

Congrats to Airbus, and hopefully we see SQ operating the first A380 flight soon. My bets are that they will put it on the SIN-SYD run first.

Somewhere up above, Howard Hughes is probably both proud and envious at the same time. 😉

I dont think so Greekdude. They use A300-600 on a lot of domestic flights. I just checked the equipment for all FRA-MUC flight probably their busiest domestic route and there is noe A330 scheduled on it.

Iberia use A340s on a few of their 45 daily MAD-BCN flights.

I’m sure you’re right, and I was aware of them using the A300’s as I have flown on those around Europe with LH.

LTU uses their A333’s around Europe, particularly to the Greek islands. Also, Olympic flies their A340’s into LHR from ATH.
