Elise, Airbus (of france) is one of the two main airplane manufacturers in the world (the other being Boeing). Similar to cars-- Ford is the make, and Falcon being the model. Airbus is the make. This airLINE (not airplane) in the post above is called 'Skybus', and they fly 'Airbus' make planes, model A319. The giant new plane which was shown this year at LAX is an "Airbus" model A380.

Oh, I thought the Airbus was that giant new plane they unveiled at LAX las year. I'd tell you the name, but clearly I thought it was Airbus. BTW, Burbank's 7am-11pm rule kicks ass. Even if that's when I'm sleeping.

Oh! You know, reading comprehension isn't just a river in Egypt, or so I've heard. Thanks for clarifying what you already clarified. Thanks Lindsay! Thindsay!

right, ross. that's what i said in the post. their flights all route through their two hubs, columbus and greensboro. elise--they've been flying those planes out of BUR for a couple of years now, only up until monday it would have just been to columbus. do the planes wake you up? i've lived in the flight path for almost ten years, and i hardly notice them, no matter what time of day or night.

Okay, this is weird - Apparently, you can buy a flight leaving from LA, but the only possible destinations are Columbus and Greensboro.

I have a feeling I'm more likely to be awakened by one of these behemoths flying overhead than catching one of those ten-dollar fares. Not good news for those of us in Burbank.
