Wait, let me get this straight. The 747 has been out for 36 years, and European designers finally got enough degrees from U.S. universities to be able to come up with a design that competes with the 747, and this is cause for gloating?! Airbus should be commended for their hard work, and I hope it pays off for them, but give the "once again, we kick the butt of all other aircraft manufacturers" crap a rest. Sheez, and they call us "ugly Americans." Maybe you would be more humble if the U.S. companies beat their chest more for the dozens of aircraft innovations over the past few decades that are now part of that modern marvel of a Guppy.
