A380 in SFO

Last night my plane pulled up two gates away from the massive Airbus A380 which was visiting the SF Int'l Airport. Today it took off to return to France, and Airbus flew it around town for some filming. Being the plane geek I am (who, ironically, doesn't like to fly), I had to be there.

Pics taken with the Panasonic FZ18 (complete with heavy noise reduction) after the link.

Here it comes

It looks like a whale

Coming around again

I'll say this about the A380: it's remarkably quiet

I wouldn't want to be in seat 83E on this thing!

Looks like I took this from another plane... just lots of cropping

In those belly shots, she looks pregnant!

I'd love to see it in person.

It just doesn't seem like that monster should be able to get lift, y'know?
