Um. This article doesn't say that but maybe you know more about it than me Huh

...either way its just proving that as airplanes get bigger, airports stay the same size...

And besides, buses aren't supposed to fly.... Roll Eyes

All the technology on that airplane, you would think they could put a small camera on the wingtips with video relayed to the cockpit. That would give the pilots a little better perception of where their wingtips are.

As Matt said, I believe it was under tow at the time. Even if it wasn't it isn't a fault with the A380, it's a fault of the person who decided to take it down that particular taxiway without realising the clearance needed....

Love the shot of the winglet attached to the side of the building that's floating around Cheesy

Hopefully it shouldn't affect sales at the airshow (I'd prefer to see the Korean Air one anyway Cheesy

)

Yeah, our Jeep even has a back up camera in addition to sensors. You would think a multi million dollar aircraft could catch up.

In defence (only slightly mind you) the largest aircraft this part of the airfield usually sees is a Lear jet Grin

That is almost comical how the wingtip is sticking out of the side of the building.

They have a camera on the tail of the plane.

The tow-truck driver wasn't a Boeing employee perchance? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
