Oshkosh - How to Park an A380 from Things with Wings
It's a bird, it's a plane, a really, really big plane. The world's largest passenger aircraft is about to descend at Oshkosh, Wisc., Wittman Regional Airport--Airbus A380 test vehicle No. 004.
The A380 is an aircraft guest of honor at this year's EAA AirVenture 2009 (July 27-Aug.2), representing the epitome of technology and innovation – what Oshkosh is all about, says Experimental Aircraft Assn. President Tom Poberezny.
EAA expects about 18,000 show visitors to tour the aircraft – and for most, seeing the innards of a test aircraft "up close and personal" will be a unique, and unforgettable, experience, notes Poberezny.
No. 004 is due to land Oshkosh on Tues. July 28, with an arrival flight demo (sorry, no acrobatics involved) and say au revoir with a departure flight demo on Fri. July 31. In between, the aircraft's doors will be open to show attendees for walkthrough tours. ...
