Watched by ground crews and the media, the Airbus A380 is pushed from its parking position at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany, prior to taking off for New York on March 19, 2007. For plane builder Airbus and German airline Lufthansa, the A380's first flight to North America is a chance to show off the superjumbo to potential U.S. buyers and to the airports they hope will be flight bases for the double-decker jet.
