    I'm into planes. But only if they're radio controlled and fit in the back seat of my car :p

    You mean there's a park just for RC? That sounds cool.

    Actually.. on a more serious note, I like the Boeing 7E7 Dreamliner, shown here

    Dreamliner looks great indeed. Airbus is getting it's ass handed to it with the A380. Too many problems and setbacks. Competition is always good since it's the engine of innovation. So I really do hope everything works out for both, even though I'm a Boeing nut. :)

    Here's a picture of the flight deck of a South African Airways 747-400 (they now fly Airbus's) as it crosses the equator - can you tell which way it is going?!? ;-)
