The Airbus A380 is refueled and prepared in Frankfurt, Germany, prior to taking off for its first trans-Atlantic flight to New York on March 19, 2007. The 239-foot-long plane, with football field-length wings, can seat as many as 550 passengers, holds almost 82,000 gallons of fuel, cruises at 560 mph and flies some 8,000 nautical miles.
