Maybe could be the USAF next future cargo hauler or VIP plane or even a bomber.. ya never know since they are buying alot of foreign built items lately.

Hardly, both FED-EX and UPS ordered then canceled their orders for the forehead. It will be interesting to see what a 6 year old A-380 brings on the resale market after EMERATES disposes of theirs (Emerates keeps aircraft an average of 6 years and then unloads them).

Excuse me fans of Airbus Industries, but I still prefer Boeing Company. But I loved the 3D cockpit view. They, or whoever, should do this with every aircraft. Frasca did this with his P-40. Check this out:

I like the little screen in the middle with the tail mounted camera for taxiing. Nice little feature that is.

dang log in thing!! scott!!! it's aggravating!! back to the airbus. i heard airbus is going to open a u.s. based manufactoring branch, any truth to that?? as to the panoramic cockpit video, i'd say that was a much needed video technique!! if that was 40 years ago the instrument panel would be many yards wide with anolog instruments!!

Tom-
See 'Boeing tanker going going...' down on page 6 posted by HGUCSU, the ERRORBUST situation was pretty well hashed over, including their pitch to 'assemble' and 'finish' airframes here in the U.S.
