It is confirmed that KAL's A380 would be on flying display at 1600 everyday, will be flown by Airbus test pilots..... :)

I called off the trip yesterday due to occasional rain with cloud overcast at 1400ft..... :<.<:

I hope I will make it today ......... but it is still raining outside the hotel ...... :(

i learned new thing from the case.. well.. :cool:

the a380 wing tip is purposely made to absorb appreciable amount of impact when it hits an aeroplane or a building so that the wing itself remain intact and fit besides reducing drag while in flight. (read this in sarcastic way)
