Nows and Forevers

JFK International Airport, New York – Here I was, content on my cramped regional jet because it was taking me where I needed to go. The first three legs of the journey was fine until I got to JFK International Airport.
The jet envy hit me.
You know the feeling, don’t you? One minute you are happy to be at your destination and the next you see a big airliner with an exotic livery and you suddenly wish you were on that plane, going far away.
The last time I was at JFK, last year, I was: I was flying to and from London. This time, not so much.
I have been especially fascinated by the Airbus A-380, the largest passenger jet out there and the only one to have a full-size double deck.
These jets each carry between 575 and 850 (!) passengers super long distances. I haven’t ever been as close to one as I was rolling by in my Canadair 900 regional jet.
It’s not the Boeing 747. But it’s close.
