I cannot believe that *I* am posting this, but hey...

This morning, I decided to watch the A380's first ever flight, since it was going to be broadcast live. For those who don't know, it's the biggest flying thingy - all right, all right, I'll say it: *plane*! - in the world. And wow! Wow! I was very impressed. Even though I still dislike the whole idea of being on a plane, watching one take off (from the safety of my apartment ) is really, really moving and beautiful.

Just what we need -- longer boarding times.

Thanks, Kaethel. I think you might just have given me a way to deal with a major plot complication for a story that has been playing around in my mind for a while now.
