An Airbus A380, A340 and a few A320's hanging out at Toulouse Blagnac Airport
The Airbus A380 is big. Very big. You can even see it from space (ok with Google Maps, you can see almost anything from space). But I was messing around on and was checking out Toulouse Blagnac Airport, where Airbus and ATR aircraft are made. I found it interesting seeing the size difference of the Airbus A380 compared to an A340 and A320’s.
Here is the link to the Google maps, what other planes can you find?

From above, it really does look like an A340 with a glandular problem. Inside, it felt more like a 747 than the 340. I’d like to get on one with a different carrier (EK or SQ in J or F, please) to find out how others are outfitting them.
