Just read an article in Mechanics Illustrated yesterday about all the problems they have had with it and the over run costs. I was wondering ithis a test run still, because I understood was not to go into service until late 07. They stated although as heavy as it is much more than the 747,it lands with much less runway stress.

I'll say this, if I am looking out my window at the runway as we're landing, I'm probably gonna faint. :skull:
