Ethiopia: Super Jumbo Airbus to Land in Addis (Tamrat G. Giorgis, October 10, 2006, AllAfrica)
The world's largest aircraft ever, the European Airbus A380, will be landing at the Addis Abeba's Bole international airport, making Ethiopia the first African sky to witness what is often described as "super jumbo" aircraft. It will arrive in mid October 2006, to have a test flight for about a week, reliable sources told Fortune.
Folks are just dying to fly like Ethiopians....

They needed an airfield where the wreck wouldn't be as likely to get coverage on Drudge.
"If a super jumbo lands in Ethiopia and nobody's there to watch it....."
Posted by: John Resnick at October 10, 2006 4:31 PMDoes this mean there are really groups of 555-853 people who need to fly between Addis Abeba and anywhere else? Must be a more happening town than I thought.
