Monster Plane

The first A380 I've ever seen, at the gate in Toronto. The image doesn't do justice to how much bigger this thing was than the planes around it. It turned out to be at the gate two away from my Iceland Air flight, so I got a good view of it from the front...or at least what little bit of it was visible in the window it completely filled.

Lucky me, I reached security for my international connection just as everybody who was flying on this giant did. Looked like about a dozen Emirates stewardesses and about a thousand people in all varieties of Gulf-region ethnic attire. All at once. Something tells me airports at which A380s land are going to need to enlarge their screening facilities...
