The size is just amazing and hopefully when I'm an airport manager one of these days I'll be able to see one of these things fly in.

That's correct. Only the Trent 900 has flown so far though. The first A380 with the GP7200's is currently under construction. It is F-WWSH (will be A6-EDA), and will be Emirates's first A380 (they opted for the GP7200 version over the Trent 900).

Ah here's the one that I was looking for (Trent 900 from the front again, but with better reference): http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0989940/M/

The A380 is an amazing aircraft. Though i'll probably never fly on one, lol. I'm actually thinking about aircraft engineering after High School when I go to college.
