I would worry about the hood popping up in mid-flight. Any Mobile, AL peeps ever see these?? LINK
"Five of these enormous planes make more than 60 flights each week, carrying parts for all of Airbus' planes from manufacturing sites -- wings in the UK, tails in Spain, for example -- to the final assembly facilities in either Toulouse, Hamburg or Tianjin." [Mobile??]

They aren't building planes here yet.

I flew on an Air France A320 yesterday. They seem to be popular short range jets out here.
I guess Airbus is trying to see some of those 737 sales in the US. Maybe building them in Alabama will help.

I'll refrain from flying on a plane named after a whale.

I love that plane. It looks like something you'd draw as a little kid, except that it actually works. I mean, that thing just looks totally impossible.

That thing should not be able to fly.

Airbus makes a horrible plane from what many pilots have told me.

I saw one of those about 1.5 years ago flying south between Lake Chuck and the Texas border. At the time, I thought it was something from NASA.
Cool to know.
