Tour of AIR BUS!!

This is of their working station, you can see a unpainted plane in front, (the green thing), this is where all of the planes are put together. They can fit three in at a time. This is the SECOND largest building in the world. But, biggest in Europe. Boeing has the largest building in the world of course.
Here is a Balooga Plane that they use to help transport parts to Toulouse.


Here is a picture of an A380! Well its really a picture of a postcard, but thats the closest I could get. We were not allowed cameras on the tour.
Okay Air Bus is Europe's largest Air Plane Company. They build planes and of course is America's main competitor of Boeing. But, we got to tour Air Bus!! In 2007 they came out with the A380!! It is a huge double decker commercial plane, that maybe we'll get to ride some day. Right now their in the process of making them. Which takes I think close to a year, is what they said. But in Toulouse is located the main office! This Wednesday we did our excursion in Toulouse (its pretty close to Albi). But here is us entering, I was so excited! I do need to suggest, that now I need to go tour Boeing, since I am an American and it is the largest American air plane company... (good gift idea, just need to get to Seattle some how:)
Here is me by the sign pretending to fly, it was also windy there as you can see.
Here is me and the A380, isn't it huge?!! That was the entry way, too bad it wasn't the real thing, but this is the closest I could get to one, I'm right by the A.

Here is the largest buiding in Europe!! Although second largest in the World. Boeing has the largest! We went in there later to see the actual building of the A380!
It says "Air France Industries" also passed this building on way.
When arriving to Air Bus we were passing all these big buildings, so I don't know what they are. I just know they all take part in making the planes.
