Kudos to the Airbus A380 design team... what a huge bird... hehehehe... it took off with a learjet observer/spotter plane ahead of it, and it seemed like it was about to gobble the poor thing up.
That is one of my frustrations in life, being a kid, and being blessed/allowed to travel the world at an early age opened my eyes to the wonders of flight. Nothing compared to the rush of take-off... well we always travelled stand-by (because my mom used to work for an airline) and because of that, we usually get stuck in airport departure lounges and check-in areas waiting for the clearance to board the flight. I really didn't mind the wait, because I always carried around a small steno notebook and I'd find the nearest curtain wall window and just sketch whatever new aircraft I see.
Its sad that for a lot of people, getting on a plane is almost the same as getting on a bus. hopefully, with the a380, this is going to change, hopefully it will bring back the glory and glamour days of air travel.
