It's not about size. I think the 747 is iconic and graceful and beautiful. But the A380 just looks...not quite right.

Thoughts?

Have you seen the 380 in person?

I've seen this bird on the ground, and on JFK approach (looking up as it approached and flew right over me at 1000 - 1500 feet (300+ meters).

Beautiful and graceful.
