nickname for A380
 

has a nickname for the A380 been agreed to yet? 747 is clearly Jumbo. A380 is...super jumbo? whale? beluga?

It can't be beluga, one of those already exists....

Humpback whale?

I used to think the Beluga was a joke because I'd only seen FSX videos of it and hadn't actually researched it...until the other day. What a wild looking plane.

The A380 certainly is super jumbo...

Not sure about a nickname for it though.

Going off on a slight tangent, but not to be outdone, Boeing has its own "Plane of Size"

"The Whalejet" seems popular.

Spruce Goose?

I'd be rather inclined not to go on an A380 made of spruce… (Thouh in reality the Spruce Goose was made of birch, but that doesn't have the same ring to it.)


Whalejet it seems to be.

I love it, it cracks me up!

That's got my vote! ^

Given recent developments... Crackity Jones?

My friends and I all call it the Whalejet.

I call it the Sky Cow, since it always reminds me of a manatee (the sea cow).

Bloatbus is a term I have heard used (thx thadocta).

I just call it Ugly
