Today saw the first time the new Airbus A380 made a landing at Adelaide airport. We headed down with my father inlaw (along with half the city!) to have a squizz and I must say I was most impressed. She definately is a beast of a plane! It was only here for about half an hour undertaking some tests before it took off again.
Anyway here are some pics I took of the event.

Hi Wildcat,

Great shots, thanks a lot! :)

>She definately is a beast of a plane!

Zeppelinesque ;)

The strange thing is that due to the large fuselage it looks deceptively like a smaller airliner until you get close enough to see the details - and then it seems BIG all of a sudden!

Regards,

Great pics and a beast of a bus. Being a double-decker, is there a conductor on board who shouts "Room on top!", as they used to do on the old London buses?!!!
 
Daz one big flying machine!!! I'm guessing that the arcing upward-curve of the wings is because of the size of the plane? Kinda gives it a graceful look....like a ballerina driving a dumptruck...
