Default V Australia or Qantas A380

Just thought it would be interesting to see what the forums members are waiting to see the most....V Australia's 777 or Qantas's A380.

From an importance to the industry and to the owner airline, it's the A380 for me. It's the first of a new generation of airliners to enter service with any Australian airline.

neither, because at this stage they aren't serving Perth so I'm not making a special trip to see them.

V Australia 77W by a clear margin!

As important as the A380 may be to QF's future and Australian aviation in general, the birth of V Australia and the fact that they've chosen my favourite aircraft has turned me into an absolute nutter of a V Australia fan.

And I'm absolutely looking forward to flying V Australia in December after doing numerous flights across the Pacific with NZ and QF. Something new, something fresh.. some really exciting to look forward to!!

I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that VA's first 77W is delivered on a weekend like QF's A380.

Hahaha.. why do you say that Bernie? You suprised I've become this super-enthusiast for V Australia ?

It's great to see others embracing and getting behind VA as well...if VA's 77W is delivered on a weekend, I trust I'll see you out there waiting eagerly for VH-VGA's arrival ?


Can't wait!! (but first things first, gotta get out there to greet QF's first A380 on Sept. 21)

Perhaps I'm just a party pooper, or perhaps I've been looking at them for too long, but neither really sparks much interest for me.

I see B777's all day, and the A380 is just another plane now, barely raising a look from me. A change in colour scheme doesn't change much for the way I look at them.

Now, if one of those F15's at Williamtown came down...
