Of course not -- it was just an easy target to make fun of.




The A380 doesn't require a wider runway. 25L is being moved south to accomodate a parallel taxiway between 25L and 25R that will, presumably, cut down on the number of runway incursions on the South complex.

(Considering that it only takes one arrival to close a runway, it would be foolish to send the A380 to an airport where only one runway was "wide enough.")

Is it math, or is it sports? Is there an American adult that doesn't know a football field stretches from goal line to goal line 100 yards?[/QUOTE]

Well t is CNN...spoken from one won has spent 2 tours in Iraq

Jet Blue doesn't own the 380..................................:cool:

Wow that's a hell of a plane. I cant imagine how it would be to land something so big and heavy even if it does "handle like a Ferrari" which I doubt, unless the Ferrari weighed ~420 tons then maybe. Lol.

Not flamebait but how come I keep hearing about how there are only some airports in America that can/will accomodate it.......weight issues I'd imagine.

ORD, SDF, MIA, LAX, SFO, JFK......I thought that I read an article a while back that these airports were spending some serious dough to make the airport ready.......

A380 stuff
 

Here I just answered my own question. I haven't really followed the development of it but it is an interesting read anyway.

It ain't gonna happen, at least not the way you think. Dubai might run out of oil soon, but by then they will have transformed themselves into a global center for commerce. They have been doing that for some time now. Many of the major multi-national corporations are already there, and many more are moving there for the numerous tax incentives and advantages. IBM, Microsoft, and many others have large buildings there. Commerce is everywhere in Dubai, and the city/state is spending gigantic bucks on infrastructure. What might be their undoing is their water supply as they still don't have enough desalinization plants to turn the salt water of the gulf into fresh water for everyones needs. But they are working on that too.

And just for the record, a football field is not 300 feet long, but 360 feet long. It's only 300 feet between the goal posts. Unless of course you're talking about that all-american game, soccer (to the rest of the world, football), then it's 300 feet long, unless you're using international rules, then it's 330 feet long, but we all knew that.

saw it in LAX yesterday...NICE!!!!!

Not yet, the reason it came to JFK was so JetBlue could look at it.
After all we are starting service to Nantucket soon...
