An airliner that's larger than any other in the world is on display at EAA AirVenture. The Airbus A380 landed at the airport yesterday afternoon, and EAA spokesman Dick Knapinsky says the plane is every bit as big as you could imagine, and more.
He says people will be able to get an in-depth look at the plane over the next few days. He says Airbus officials are letting people take self-guided, walking tours of the inside and outside of the plane. The tours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and tomorrow, and 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, at AeroShell Square.
The Airbus has two decks, and seats 525 people using a typical layout. Upwards of 850 can fit in an all-economy layout.
