Good one!
Well, I think the Boeing is a beautiful creation - not so much the Airbus.
Also, the Boeing has lived thru its youth and has grown into a reliable and wonderful servant. The Airbus on the other hand is unproven - and when it comes to lifting my backside to 40k ft. at 600 mph... well sir - I'll take the Boeing any day.
Great pic by the way!
Amazing, 5*s Sam!!!
I love Boeing, and the 747. She will be the Queen of the Skies for ever. ;)
i love a380and 747 so...

380 takes about 15 years to come true, 747 only less then 3 years!
The answer is obvious!

"If it ain`t Boeing ,I`m not going" ;(
The A380 looks like an A318 - just bigger - nothing special on it beside here size.
But the B747 ist not really beautiful - just elegant with a "curious" head - more interesting.
I clearly choose the 747 because of the design.
I like the 380s technology, but not the design. For me it's about style, not size.

able to carry 800 passengers? A380 might be unbeatable for cargo, but the future, according to me, is represented by Boeing with its 787, in terms of efficiency. And we all have to remember the age of 747. However, they are two wonderful aircrafts: fly them anyway.....
amazing shot!
I prefer the 747 - much more elegant, useful and there really was no need for the A380 was there???
It really is an ugly plane, innit?
Thanks for this great shot.
B747 vs A380
Still B747 is more elegant, but A380 is more powerfull.
In this photo you can see the evolution of years in aviation.
I love airplanes and thats why I prefer the Boeing!
"Wilbur... Where the heck is Singapore?"
But do you know what the 747 pilot is thinking? I'm seated higher than you!
A wins in size but B still wins in design and elegance.
the B is my favorite any time any way for quite some time to come.
time of the 747 is up
After tallies of preferences, my count is: Airbus - 14 versus Boeing - 87.
Great photo, I love the angle in particular. And it really does look like they're checking each other out.
i think airbus is egzagerating with the a380 , they cant beat the 747
747 4EVER!
Boeing 747 Obviously! No aircraft will ever even equal the Queen of the Skyes.
That said, aviation is all about pushing the boundaries of human achievement, and Airbus must be applauded for taking the risk, just as Boeing did 40 years ago. The 747 is a legend in its own right, and the A380 is the ultimate tribute to its legacy. Long live VLAs!
Who's the main objective in this image frame?
I think the A380 is a lot classier.
Five stars.
A380 needs to be successful for the next 40 years to top the 747, which is not dead yet....
As for my opinion: As long as it flies, its beautiful! ;)
BOEING!
The Boeing is: much better looking.
Both are great planes, however; one is a product of this century, and the other is an aging 60's marvel undergoing a modification here and there to be kept in the running.
747 is the true Queen of the Skys.
the 747-8i while rule the skies!
The Jumbo Jet v the Whale Jet ... one is the most beautiful and elegant subsonic airliner ever built, the other is the ugliest airliner ever built.
But Concorde is still the only legitimate queen of the skies, compared to these fat subsonic planes. 5*
With regards to whats better looking, no doubt the 747 looks better than the A380, but I think thats mainly down to the cockpit placement. Had the cockpit been at the upper deck and not the middle I think it would not have been as one sided.
Old School: B747 400
New School: A380
Combining both schools: B747 800
Airbus is great...but my preference is the Immortal Boeing 747.
On another thought, it would be awesome whenever I get the chance to fly these Royal Birds.
compare to the 744 and the 748i.
No doubt the A380 is the winner.Try one if you dont believe it.Sorry boeing you are to late with a real VLA
One is new, promising and profitable...
The other is History, Legacy and Supremacy.
Anyway, both are Fantastic!
