Some sweet stuff there! It's a great plane but an UGLY fuselage! I'll scan a picture here around 12:00 ish central to show you what the original idea was for this plane.

I can understand flying on the right side, with the controller in my right hand.  But Im wondering how long my brain would take to get used to flying with the left?

I know the Cirrus is setup like this too.

Anybody have any clue what those other 2 handles are to the left of the control stick? One looks like one of those FPS game controllers companies keep trying to sell, and the other looks like an oh-**** handle of some sort.

except for the takeoff and last few hundred feet of landing all their flying is done by pushing buttons and turning knobs.

Look in the back behind the laptop. I was disappointed about the lack of a pretty airhostess.

A HUD and a red trigger on the stick, is this "airbus" just a slightly larger jet powered jug?

Well, at least it will give the flight engineer something to do.

Pilot "Pierre, could you please hand me my Perrier?"

Engineer "Oui boss, oui."

Here is the picture I promised to scan. Took it out of the book, "Wissen mit Pfiff: Flugzeuge"



In my opinion the A380 we have now compared to the one in the picture is much uglier.

What did they really change? the nose and cockpit location seem different but not much else. IMO they are both ugly as sin.
