This is the oldest Flight International story I can find on our website about what became the A380. It was written by somebody called Guy Norris, which tells you how long ago it was.

But here's what Flight is reporting today. Amazing stuff.
Why does everyone forget about the father of the A380?? The McDonnell Douglas MD-12! Let's give credit where credit is due...
