Taxing across LAX from the north side to the south side on Friday I noticed a QUANTAS A-380 sitting on the midfield ramp with all four engine cowls propped open.


It got me to thinking is the A-380 a non starter? Is it the next great white elephant of aviation? Is the A-380 destined to become the next generation of trendy roadside diners with names like "The Aero" or "Fly'n'chow" or maybe "Jumbo's Jet Double Decker Diner"?

I'll tell you what if I was the CEO of a company that just spent hundreds of millions of dollars on A-380's and had to park them all after having had to wait multiple years for production delays. And now had to park my entire fleet. I'd be ****ED!!
