I'm partial to the moves an A380 can do. I mean, cripes, it can hold over 600 people.

I saw that on the news the other day. It appears that maneuver is to show the capabilities of the Boing 787, but only for the Air Show. That will not be how the plane takes off with passengers on board... But it does look like fun !
