The A380 might be bigger, but don't really like Airbus, so I'll go with the AN225. Thanks for your help.

Greetings SamIntel!
"(...) I hate Airbus (...)"
On what particular knowledge and experience, either as a pilot, a passenger, an aerodynamics/electronics/construction engineer, or all of same, do you base this broadly sweeping and rather outspoken statement?
Be well!
Jaap Verduijn. |

It is the Spruce Goose. I watched a program on the History Chanel the other day about it. They used to have it down in the white dome by the Queen Mary but they moved it up to Washington State because they thought it would attract more tourists. The Spruce Goose had 8 engines! And it only flew once.
I don't mind the Airbus but I do prefer Boeing. |

Sorry, I should have said I dislike airbus. I don't like them because everything is done by a computer, it's to automated, and I'm not a big fan of the side stick. I'm a boeing guy. |

Yes, I saw that movie. It was interesting, but there were some boring scenes. The last part of the movei was the best, I think. That aircraft is huge! |

Yes, the one when he broke the speed record was great too. He was flying low. It was awesome. And then, everything was shaking and the needles was falling apart. He ended up landing in a field. Ot wasn't a landing actually. He crashed. |

The last part was exciting but it was unrealistic because the Goose didn't fly that long [anyway forget the unrealism "I loved that part!"]. |
