A380 coming in

Would ya look at the size of that ting!
Maybe not that big
For what its worth, the SST, the Super Sonic Transport made a one or two of emergency landings at Logan back in the day when it was still flying.

It already had dipped the nose cone to allow the pilot forward vision. Now... that was big.
