It flew over the
Without comparison to other airplanes, it is not easy to see how big the airplane really is. Still, it is thrilling to see this big machine flying near and even disappearing behind some of the tall buildings.
The pictures may be a bit grainy, because they were taken from a great distance with my PhD (Push here, Dummy) camera :)

It's a little unfortunate, but pictures of that thing flying behind the IFC reminded me of 9/11 and the Twin Towers :-P.
I do wonder how airports are going to handle that thing when it enters service, though. Can you imagine 600+ people being dumped onto an airport in one go? I don't know that many airports have the customs, baggage handlers, etc to be able to handle such a large concentration of passengers at one time. It reminds me of the super liner I was on over the summer -- the ship itself was fine, but when it got to a small port and dumped 4000+ people into it... you can imagine the strain it put onto the facilities. I hope that the airports are preparing for this, otherwise we're going to be in for some pretty painful flights in the future.
