Are you sure they're not wing mirrors for the pilot?


They are available to the pilot; I don't know if he can make the images
available to passengers, but I presume so.

I'm not an A380 pilot. I don't like aircraft with snap-off wings.

The camera on the A380 tail was one of the development problems. The camera's
fibre optic cable was about a foot too short. It was in a documentary made about
the construction.


Brilliant engineering. It makes one feel very safe.

Let's get one thing straight for a start.

You're not a pilot, neither are you any sort of aeronautical engineer.

What are your qualifications for such an extraordinary statement?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

It was part of the Fairchild contribution to the project. Last time I
looked, Fairchild was still an American Company.

You're not a pilot of any short, sim-boi. You're just another pathetic
failure playing with a toy simulation on a PC.

Who cares what you think? You don't fly or travel, sim-boi.
