Take a look at the A340 and the A380 in flight from straight ahead or straight behind. The resemblance is striking. The wing is beautiful. Apart from the taller fuselage, they are very similar in appearance.

My .02 is UPS will follow suite within the month. Airbus had a great idea, but the whole process of building one of those is too expensive.

Thanks!
Select "Properties"
Under the "General" tab, you'll see a line labeled: Address (URL), and to the right of that, something that begins with "http://" and ends with something like ".jpg"
Highlight that address, and Copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Compose a post, and use these tags: {img} {/img} (Except, use [ ] instead of { }).
Between the IMG tags, Paste (Ctrl+V) the address you previously copied to your clipboard.
You'll wind up with something like this:
{img}http;//us.airliners.net/photos/middle/7/7/9/0881977.jpg{/img}
{ = [
} = }
; = :
that will show up like this:
