I assume this is an A380. Anyone know?

Yes, the current model of "Superjumbo" being flown is the A-380-800.

What are all those numbers and letters?

They are spec numbers for the texture and viscosity of horse turd that is painted over that was used to build it.

You're joking right? How long have you been a pilot?

I believe that they refer to the max amount of pax being able to carry.

From Wikipedia:

The new Airbus was initially offered in two models. The A380-800 original configuration carried 555 passengers in a three-class configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A380#cite_note-86 or 853 passengers (538 on the main deck and 315 on the upper deck) in a single-class economy configuration. In May 2007 Airbus began marketing a configuration with 30 fewer passengers, now 525 passengers in three classes, traded for 370 km (200 nmi) more range, to better reflect trends in premium class accommodation. The design range for the -800 model is 15,200 km (8,200 nmi); capable of flying for example from Hong Kong to New York, or from Sydney to Istanbul non-stop. The second model, the A380-800F freighter, would carry 150 tonnes of cargo 10,400 km (5,600 nmi). The -800F development was put on hold as Airbus prioritised the passenger version and all cargo orders were cancelled. Future variants may include an A380-900 stretch seating about 656 passengers (or up to 960 passengers in an all economy configuration) and an extended range version with the same passenger capacity as the A380-800.

An Airbus A380 said the ride sucked 120 east of Boston at FL400.

Nah, the Rkd means "rocked".

You're joking right? How long have you been a pilot?

You're joking, right? Or is sarcasm really that lost on you? How long have you been reading?

And it was URGENT!

Haven't played this game since a riddle rat thought he could show me up by knowing what the "$" means:

Yay! 'Well uhh ok...do you know the 5 number codes at the end???"

I'd have been more impressed if he knew that we had an alternate at all, much
less why I added fuel- or maybe be able to hold the glideslope within a dot...

Always fun trying to get those who view aviation through a minutia microscope to see the forest...

I replied to your PM over on APC a few days ago. Did you get it?

LOL- When he waves $3 in the crew van and proclaims, "Drinks are on me" his crew says, "No thanks, it's bible study night."

JJ,

Speaking of which I suggest you repent - for the end is near.
