Unfortunately, the public will not be able to view the A380 (unless they see it in flight), partly because Dulles International Airport doesn't have a gate big enough to hold the plane, so it must sit on a vacant tarmac that is a good distance away from any of the four Dulles terminals. But there are a lot of resources on the web for those of you who want to see the interior and exterior of the plane. The Washington Post has a good section with some panoramic photos and graphs. You can also visit the Airbus North America web site for video clips of plane.

The plane is scheduled to take off from Dulles on Wednesday morning, so if you happen to be on the CUC campus at about 8:30 a.m., look up -- you might catch a glimpse.
