Some of the things we find out there on the Interwebs are so cool, they need no explanation. Here's one of them: Behold this link to a 360 degree panorama of the interior of an Airbus A380 cockpit. Telstar Logistics was fortunate to have the opportunity to sit in this very same A380 cockpit late last year, but rest assured, this VR from Gilles Vidal is the next best thing. In some ways, it's even better: When we visited, for example, we didn't notice the low-tech escape ropes -- ropes! -- stowed in the specially designated compartments just above the windows on both sides of the cockpit. But if you look carefully, there they are.
Likewise, if you're wondering what it's like to bed down in one of those super-expensive, super-exclusive private rooms in the first class cabin of a Singapore Airlines A380, Gilles can help you out there as well:
But if you fly steerage, expect it to look something like this:
Have fun exploring!
(Thank you, Jason Schupp!)

The A380 its a great aircraft, I am looking forward to seeing what services/cabin/features Qantas, Emirates, and the other airlines offer with their launch later this year.
