A300 might be OK too, and the A340 might grow on you if you fly LH in F as much as I have, but the A380 sure looks like a beast.

I totally agree that the 747 classic and 747 EUD designs are extraordinarily beautiful... with the 747-100/200s getting slightly higher marks.
Yeah, but balance that against the 777! Its hideous. Personally, I like the 340 as well, and the 318 is actually quite sweet. 757's have got cute faces.

And I really can't wait to see a 380 on the ground - I think its going to have a really large "wow" factor - the 777 was frankly a disappointment, as everyone went on about how big it was, when it isn't really. Can't wait to see it at Farnborough in two years time (assuming it comes!) in display with a 318
