No wonder your a plane nutter Brennanx , you must live close to that airport

Looking at that wing area , obvious a stretched version will be on the drawing board !

Number 5 and 6 look like a CGI animation! Great shots.

awesome pictures! its kind of a strange looking aircraft in the way that the wing span is so huge, it makes the fuselage look short!!

Yeah it is quite a stocky looking thing huh? Like Ian says, I think a stretched version could be around the corner. It would certainly look a lot more in proportion.

Still, nice shots!

Yep - I think there are plans to take it up to 800 seats. But you won't get bars and beds and all the fancy stuff with that config.

I'm just picturing how that would sound on the radio:

"Delivery, QANTAS 6110 requesting airways to Sydney, flight level 410, we have 798 POB"

Dunno, but I think she still looks ugly

Looking forward to seeing her in Perth on Tuesday
