My bad, sorry i meant i was watching it live on BBC...Sorry Ian.

I watched it land and taxi round the runway, and it dwarfed everything else out there.

Although, I would have loved to see it 'in the flesh' so to speak.

A friend who works in the cargo areas near Heathrow said that the plane looked massive, nearly as big or bigger than the heavylift areoflot cargo planes.

The news footage & flight simulator were both good, how long before it makes it on to the MS flight sims?

I was driving past Heathrow just prior to the landing - there were hundreds of people abandoning their cars around the perimeter road and A30 to watch - caused mayhem

Unfortunately due to work I couldn't stop to watch

800 people carrier
its just pure madness

does anyone know what time it landed in Heathrow?
and if it is going to actually fly out if so when?!!!

Im thinking of watchin it fly out if its a good time!

It won't let me watch
BBC News broadband video only for international viewers for a subscription fee.
When did this start?
I watched their broadcasts about the bombings last year
(John's eldest was in London at the time.)
& I'm sure I've seen clips of theirs since.

I watched it live

Anything that makes a long haul flight tolerable is fine by me.

11 hour flight to both Missouri & Hong Kong from where i am.

If I can go for a stroll on the way to both places, then that's a good thing.

The French senior pilot remarked that when it comes to airborne logistics, size is irrelevant. I can believe that.

Whatever, it's impressive

Imagine how satisfying it would be to watch the airbus land, if you were the man you designed it.

truly magnificant
