| Airbus A380 at Adelaide 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, Henning (HoHun) |

| 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?!!! |

 | Good stuff Andy! I saw her in Singapore when I was on my way to Sydney puts a 747 to shame (especially inside - she has much more room an is more comfortable). Here is my pics - they are not great as it was dark and I was shooting through the glass of the Terminal. Airbus A380 - a set on Flickr

| 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...
