Another great plane bites the dust

In yesterday's 'Der Spiegel'

'Breakfast Martini at the Bord-Bar, a hot shower at 14,000 metres. For frequent flyer Christoph Lausberg Airbus A380 was the plane of all planes.'

European consortium Airbus has decided to discontinue production of the A380.

It's the third great aircraft to fail in modern history. The other two being the supersonic Concorde and the Tupolev.
