Guess what I saw at the Sydney Airport:

That’s the new Airbus A380! It’s one big plane! It can seat more than 500 people. Fully loaded it takes ~9K feet to get off the runway - nearly two miles, which is a little disturbing because the LAX airport runways are between 10K and 12K feet long. Not a lot of leeway there!

Well, everybody who knows me knows I’m already afraid of flying, so it’s not a big surprise that this thing scares me. But it is still really cool to finally see one up close!
