The TR's don't deploy.  Angry


J/K. That's pretty amazing. The details inside of the terminal are really, really impressive. I just love when they put a ton of effort into parts that you don't see often but might look at.

The comment is funny, but only to a very small aviation minded few.

yeah, thrust reversers don't work, no smoke off of the tires when they land.  Doesn't look like any delays due to Alec Baldwin playing on this smart phone.

All kidding aside, this is cool.

Wow, that second video... WOW.

A few things...

1: Holy crap, the fan blades turn in the A380.
2: The people inside the terminal aren't moving. Very realistic.  Wink
3: There are times during the night action where you're hard pressed to tell that it's not the real thing.
4: These guys really stomp on the brakes at the gates.  ???
5: I'd like to see the mechanical workings. It seems like the complexity must be mind bending.
6: There's a maintenance hangar!
7: Can you imagine having to dust that thing?

That model display is legendary. This is a new piece I had not seen unveiled. Thanks for the post. I'm a huge fan of models. I recommend riding down to the HO scale model in Helen, GA. It's not quite this impressive...but you get to ride to Helen, GA.
