Is this a troll? It being airbus? But it is a nice looking aircraft. But I prefer the F-22.

Commercial passenger jets rate the same as a city bus to me. They're both boring and crammed full of people.

the a380 is the first airbus plane that doesn't look like a boeing to me.  Thats refreshing, plus the mountains are beautiful.

Landscape is great, the airplanes are uggggggllllllllllllllllllllll lyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!


Plus they are just airliners, post a few shots like that of a B1 or B52 and you will have something.

I think only the most boring people on the planet could find airliners entertaining.

mountains are nice. The a380 is kinda cool for a flying bus. The a340 looks like a flying dildo.

Both are works of art and engineering marvels.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

The 380 looks well proportioned compared to the 340. Those 340s look like gliders when you see them from the front.:D
