A380 steep take-off at the Paris Air Show in June 2007

amazing

my entire school fits in there

I just cry everytime i watch this stuff ... cuz i love it so much ;/ Dont think im psycho ... but i love'em

no sorry i think your absolutely insane =)

just kidding

no you are not a complete pscho at all i love them too! Evrytime i see one landing into sydney airport i stop whatever im doing at lookat the a380. Best planes ever! :)

ahh, just another day at John Wayne Airport!
the A380 is quite a lovely liner: sophisticated construction, ridiculous lift (but if they can jam 700 people onto it, you just know they will)

The plane without load and passengers can do acrobatic maneuvers without suffering structural damage

Imagine an American doing such a stunt, he would be immediately removed from pilot. But when French, Italian, Russian do this, they get "unanimous" praise - even if the mishap happens (Italians were not blamed after killing 80 in Ramstein 1988!)
Now I know I will be lynched down since politically incorrect.

It was at an air show and was flown as a demo maneuver. Many "risky" stunts are performed at air shows world wide. I'm not sure what politics or passanger deaths have to do with anything...

I was commenting the stunt that comments above quasi-unanimously imagine and praise. Those praises are so ridiculous (when you *really* know the A380) that they can *only* be explained by the political agenda I denounced (of which the lynching of me is part).
The take-off actually shown on the video would be quite normal from any transport plane in an air show, and just recalls that A380 is (duly and normally for such size) *less* swift than average.
