A380 musings...

Well, I finally made it on the A380. And this Boeing Boy was damn impressed by the new King. Spacious as you would expect, but what really got me was the the sheer quietness of it all: this really is the Lexus of the Skies. Smooth and silent, it was strange to actually hear all the other noises that are normally drowned out by the engines in other aircraft. And business travelers need to be especially cautious: amazing how you can hear a revised takeover offer for being planned by guys who either don't realise how loud they are, how quiet the plane is or how close a nosey little Ukrainian-Australian is...

Bring on the 787...
