The Airbus A380 was the most important aircraft of the decade according to Flightglobal users as a result of the holiday season's poll question.
The A380 came top at 46% out of a list of suggested aircraft including the Boeing 787, Citation Mustang, Eurofighter Typhoon and Northrup Grumman Global Hawk among others.
Users were also able to nominate other aircraft as it had had its first flight or come into service in the last 10 years.
The poll question was inspired by an AirSpace forum discussion "A decade in review: What have been the highlights/events that shaped the Noughties?"
Take a look at what Flight was reporting on 100 years ago with 1910's first issue of the year. The front cover hosts a picture of a "clever 'faked' photograph" with the caption: "An impression of the future - flying in the clouds". It's good to know we were predicting the future back then.
AirSpace has some great images uploaded by users including this one, one of the most commented, of an RAF Harrier by TJ.
