Flying Castle Makes it to Sydney


After nearly bankrupting its manufacturer , with billions of dollars in overruns and after years of delay, the A380 finally made a commercial flight from Singapore to Sydney. People were paying up to $50,000 for a ticket. A regularly scheduled service starts this weekend. It reminded me that most of my flying days are over. Even the so called benefits don't outweigh cattle class, crap food and crying kids. And then there is jet lag.

Impressive engineering all the same to get that much weight into the air.

I am looking forward to non-stop between Vancouver and Sydney. But I think customs and immigration will be hell.

I used to love taking the 747 from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore because there was no air bridge and you had to climb the steps up to the plane.
