It’s a bird, it’s a plane, a really, really big plane. The world’s largest passenger aircraft is about to descend at Oshkosh, Wisc., Wittman Regional Airport
based on published pavement rating, the strength of 18/36 (the longest runway) would allow for a gross weight of about 200,000 less than OEW..... Guess they're allowing a bit of an overload.....

Paint it in the Arrows colours .. and I just want to see it do a few 'barrel rolls' in the air ! Hehehe .. 
How on earth are they going to land that thing there, and then get it out? 
They're going to need the QF pilots who got one out of Fiji in one piece.
