Airbus A380 - Up, up and away !

I watched in awe, as the flying double-decker took off and soared into the skies over Toulouse, France yesterday on it's maiden voyage. With a capacity of 550 passengers, this monster opens a new dawn in commercial aviation. The world is truly becoming a smaller place, and not just according to the 'shrinking universe' theories. Jules Verne would have jumped with joy at the site of the A380 powering down the runway, ready for an adventure in some far off distant land. I am the other hand, kicked back and smoked a Cuaba Salomones for the occasion.
