Come See the Big Plane - Airbus A380 Comes to NY, LA and San Fran

Filed under: Airplanes — Rick Seaney @ 2:29 am

Emirates Airline, as you know, will be first to fly the huge (yes, Godzilla-like) A380 to the U.S.

The enormous aircraft will arrive at JFK from Dubai on August 1.

Then on August 4, “invited guests” in San Francisco can take a “familiarization” flight — as will other “invited guests” in Los Angeles on August 5.

Not an “invited guest”? Well, just head on down to the airport if you simply want to see a great big bird.

Did You Know? according to a report in Dubai’s Khaleej Times, the Airbus A380 gets “better fuel economy per passenger mile than most hybrid passenger cars”.
