  • I love how, the engines spool up, then spool up more. the shadow on take-off, the turbulence flexing the wing, the industrial landscape, the green field, the brown field, the water, the roads.

    • What spooling? Compared to a dc8 or b707 it's peanuts. And compared to a b52 it's nothing.

  • I lived in Central Western NSW, Australia, for 12 years. It's about 20 minutes by airliner from Sydney on the way to Hong Kong / Singapore / Tokyo / other_SE_Asia. When the planes flew over, they were about 10,000 to 12,000 feet. My point is that the Virgin A340-600 was THE most distinctive plane I could see. The long thine 4 engined airliner, with the bright red engines. Instantly recognizeable, and unmistakable for anything else.

  • Iv flown on the A340-600 hundreds of times (Im crew...) and I can honestly say its the most unstable, wobbly aircraft in the sky. Not in the unsafe point of view, but on the lack of smoothness of the flight both take off, through turbulence. The front and rear of the aircraft would shake so much. On take off sitting at the very back galley, you would see how the front of the aircraft would bend and shake in different direction. How it never snapped is an achievement to the engineering in designing it. haha However I do think its a gorgeous aircraft to watch taking off, in flight.

    • Im really surprised to see this considering its an airbus, usually they make solid planes but maybe thats due to the length of the plane

    • Yes, I think the A340-500 was the longest range commercial airliner until the A380 came out. I flew on a Cathay Pacific A345 from SFO to Hong Kong back in the early 2000's and I remember it being a great flight (being in business class helped, lol).

  • The A340, the unluckiest aeroplane so far, along with its next relative, the A380. These Airbus models are marvels of engineer and they look amazing. Two fo the most gorgeous machines ever built, and two of the safest as well: A340 6 hull loses, no fatalities; A380 no hull loses, no fatalities. These quadjets are magnificent and we lost them or we'll lose them too soon. I also like the B747 (the queen of the skies), but the king and the prince of the skies are better looking for me.
