Default A380 at SFO

As I drove by the windbreak wall at SFO I suddenly saw the 380's ginormous tail over the wall. I couldn't help think but think of the movie Jaws...

Anyways here are some pictures.

I'd venture to say that the wing is arched in that manner due to sheer weight! Can only imagine when it is full of fuel, if it wasn't in the photos.

I am sorry, but I have NO desire to fly something that big!

Just the thought of an entire a/c that is a double decker, wow! But again, no thanks!

my 2 cents...quite possible the ugliest plane in existance....yuck...and I am not an Airbus hater at all; however, it looks like some childhood airplane model that was blown up, and put in production.....way to go design engineers
