Actually many people did get to experience the flight, including many from here. It was available for booking for weeks in advance.Originally posted by JonLee View PostNot many people got to experience that flight. i was not honoured to experience it too... sadly Comment

I am currently sat in the 'outdoor' area of the BA Flounge at T5 LHR watching the aeroplanes take off.
I just saw:
BA 744
BA 744
SQ 380
BA 744
I know those new fat things are more efficient/economical/modern/blah blah blah, but they do not have anything like the grace and character of those great old gaz guzzling girls.....

Well it looks a damn sight better than the 380, which has got to be the ugliest passenger aircraft ever built.Originally posted by HUGE AL View Post

It does still turn heads though I have to say. People do point and say 'Ooh look, an A380!'....usually followed by 'Isn't it ugly'.

And in my head, I still refer to the A380 as a whalejet and the B747 as the "Queen of the Skies"Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostWell it looks a damn sight better than the 380, which has got to be the ugliest passenger aircraft ever built.

Urgh iPhone typo
Meant to say
"Ugly means nothing, everyone seems to love Shrek!"
Shrek meaning the DreamWorks film with the big green ogre. At the time it seemed everyone in the UK was talking about it.Comment

The media loves things like Shrek so much that they LOVE sensationalising the creature's problems.Originally posted by FN-GM View Post

Ha... Never thought of the comparison between Wayne Rooney and Shrek.....Originally posted by MAN Flyer View Post
But I do have to agree about the grace and "class" of the B747 though - the A380 may be a technological marvel, but it just doesn't have that class of TE B747, never will have that class of the B747 and it definitely fails miserably in th looks department! Yes the B747 is and will always be the Queen of The Skies!

By "TE B747" are you referring to the old code for Air New Zealand? Otherwise I agree with you. The 747 remains my favourite aircraft.Originally posted by wlgspotter View PostHa... Never thought of the comparison between Wayne Rooney and Shrek.....

I used to call it the "camel plane" when I was a kid.

Yup. No plane will be able to replace the 747. Thank god Qantas is keeping a few of these wonderful planes for quite a long while.Originally posted by wlgspotter View PostHa... Never thought of the comparison between Wayne Rooney and Shrek.....
