What's this?

Amazing aircraft.


Took it to Dubai many years ago (maybe 2007) and booked the specific flight just to fly on that plane. Even in Coach, I had more space than I had ever had on a plane. Flew on Emirates, so everything was top-notch. Takeoff was amazing. Quieter than I ever imagined a plane could be, and at that time, was the first time I had been on a plane with live cameras you could watch live on the screen at the seat. Best view was from the top of the tail, looking out over the plane. I do remember the landing was HARD. I figured it was because the pilots weren't used to being so high up in the air as the wheels touched down, and were still perfecting it. Still a great experience. I am forever in awe that those massive machines, and any large jet for that matter, can get off the ground.
