Continuing my occasional look at the building of the first British Airways Airbus A380, we are getting close to delivery day. It’s been interesting to see this huge aircraft’s construction over the last year.
- This was the unpainted hull fresh from the hangar
- Now fitted with Rolls Royce engines
- First landing in Europe unpainted
- Revealing the seat map
- A peak inside the cabins
- The first fully painted aircraft
And now here the first British Airways Airbus A380 take off video.
I still don’t think that the A380 has the grace of the Boeing 747 Jumbo – but it is undoubtedly a magnificent site to see it soaring up into the sky. Or should that be “lumbering”?
Your turn: Have you flown in an A380? I’d love to hear your stories and experiences. Please leave a comment below or post a link to your own blog.
