I have a friend who works there now, working on the line making the wings, when the A380 first flew they made a killing selling rivets and other scrap bits on ebay!!

And I still think the Beluga is totally <a href="http://www.allaboutguppys.com/beluga/gupy315a.jpg" rel="nofollow">crazy looking</a>! @Mrb, that A380 video was awesome! It actually led me on to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dp9JjuJbZ0" rel="nofollow">this video of the Antonov An-225 Mriya</a>, whose size is simply staggering. @Michael - it’s incredible how such a huge machine has been around for sooo long!

The rear takes off before the nose! Here is a video: http://www.allaboutguppys.com/sg/377sgtos.mov The movie comes from this site, http://www.allaboutguppys.com/sg/377sgf.htm, which has some great history and ground level pictures of super guppies.
