I didn't have time to land it before I had to go out. Tomorrow

Haha, what you probably didnt realise is that the A380 technically can take off and land on shorter runways

You're just angry because it's bigger

I could've gone for a SR-71 if I wanted something that would take a long time to take off.

An 225 anyone?
That A380 took of with about 50m to spare

Coz he used push back to the tip of the runway :wink:

The runway would not be able to withstand the 380s weight without taking significant damage.

Yeah I slewed right to the end, same as Hampo.

I did use the parking brakes- what do you mean?

Who cares? It wouldn't cope with a 146/737 either.

No pics, but I managed to land an An225 there - didn't manage to take off in time - after I made it go up to Mach 1.95...
