Dang it! I wanted to see this beast!
Checking out the A380 at Dulles may not be easy

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is warning aviation enthusiasts that good views may be hard to get when the Airbus A380 makes its visit to Dulles International Airport Sunday and Monday.
On it's website, the authority says: "Lufthansa Airlines and Airbus are bringing the A380 to Dulles Airport for a 'route-proving flight' next week. The aircraft is expected to arrive at Dulles some time after 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 25 and depart some time after 9 p.m. on Monday, March 26. The organizers of this event have not made arrangements for the general public to view the aircraft, its takeoffs or landings. Public areas of the airport do not offer a good view of the A380 when it is parked on the airfield. The airport will be operating normally throughout this event. If you come to the airport, please be mindful of passengers who will be traveling those days and do not park in unauthorized areas."

I saw the thing take off in the afternoon for a VIP flight. I work right near the runway and can feel the Jumbos take off all day (Korea Airlines especially).
The only reason we were looking out the window was because there was a Helicopter hovering over the building, and we were looking at it. All of a sudden this giant white whale came up over the trees. Holy Nuts!
It took off half way in between where the 747's lift off and the mini jets. It wasn't hurting to get up either. And quiet. WOW! We didn't even hear it.
That's a cool aircraft. Amazing the thing stays in the air.
