A -400 overtaking a 380, but I'm wondering, aren't they a bit too close?

I think the A380 is 2000ft higher. Very nice video. Thai airways livery is so beautiful.

Thanks for the video link.   I thought it was a lot of fun to watch.

Here's an interesting 45 minute (2014) video/documentary on the Antonov 225, which is supposed to be the world's largest jet, with ***6*** engines!  It has a few advertisements pasted on the edges of the video frame but is otherwise still informative and enjoyable.

If you search youtube for "antonov 225", there are quite a few personal takeoff and landing videos on youtube.

Maybe we could persuade Hardy to drop the 744 and make us an Antonov 225 flight sim???!!!  (insert friendly grins here.  Also, I've already put in another frivolous request for a Concorde flight sim, and would prefer that!)

I guess this is an answer to Mel Ott's  statement that the only reason he prefers 4-engine aircraft is because they don't make 5-engine aircraft.  Now that the Antonov
