A380 part deux

[buckdanny]

Since the last thread was hijacked I thought I would start a new one.

The A380 is scheduled to take its first flight tomorrow (wednesday) between 10:00am and 11:00am French time; that is between 4:00am and 5:00am eastern time!

Just thought I would share the info

buck u frickin commie jk


Will this takeoff be televised live??? I'm sure we'll catch highlights later on tv but wondering if it's going to be live on any U.S. channels. Should be a helluva sight to see this behemoth get airborne.

Darn it, you cought me being french again!!

I was lookign all over and couldn't find a thing. Maybe discovery wings will have a special live broadcast? I'm thinking CNN might have something too. If there is nothing on TV here, you can always look on the french tv websites I am sure they will have a video up pretty quick. Try news.tf1.fr or www.france2.fr these are the 2 main french tv chanels. Unfortunately I'm starting a 4 day trip right at that time!

Darn it, you cought me being french again!!

"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country. France has usually been governed by prostitutes." —Mark Twain

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." —General George S. Patton

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordion." —Norman Schwartzkopf

"We can stand here like the French, or we can do something about it." —Marge Simpson

"As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure." —Jacques Chirac, President of France

"As far as France is concerned, you're right." —Rush Limbaugh

"The only time France wants us to go to war is when the German Army is sitting in Paris sipping coffee." —Regis Philbin

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." —P.J O'Rourke (1989)

"You know, the French remind me a little bit of an aging actress of the 1940s who was still trying to dine out on her looks but doesn't have the face for it." —John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

"They've taken their own precautions against Al Qaeda. To prepare for an attack, each Frenchman is urged to keep duct tape, a white flag, and a three-day supply of mistresses in the house." —Argus Hamilton "The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." —Dennis Miller



"I would call the French scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum. I say we invade Iraq, then invade Chirac." —Dennis Miller

"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He IS French, people." —Conan O'Brien

"I don't know why people are surprised that France won't help us get Saddam out of Iraq. After all, France wouldn't help us get the Germans out of France!" —Jay Leno

"The last time the French asked for 'more proof,' it came marching into Paris under a German flag." —David Letterman

How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb?
One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves around him.

An old saying: Raise your right hand if you like the French.... Raise both hands if you are French. Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France.
