Airbus A380 in SGP airshow

[rockinanko]

i took this pics this moring at the SGP airshow...
the main attraction is of course, the giant A380.
what surprises me is it's so agile despite the massive structure!
the flight was so graceful to view, like a swan gliding in the sky!

take a look,











i hope those building this bird can take references from here...
i stood under the scorching sun for almost 5 hours just to take the flying displays...man, i'm totally sunburnt out!

hehe...

Nice pics, good to see it in flight finaly. From an op-ed piece I wrote back in 2005:

I've been following the development of that giant plane that the European consortium Airbus tested recently. It can hold over 500 passengers at a time. Most of the criticisms I've heard is how are you going to get 500 people on and off on time? My response is that I still don't know how we can get over 1,500 high school students out of bed and into their seats at school on time every day, but it happens.

I just finished reading about it on Wikipedia. Makes me want to go & get a pilots license!

hehe, well that's still the best paid job in the market, so get a license then!

really, if you have the chance to see it performing infront of you...the bird can really slow down so slow, that you begin to worry if ever those big rolls would stall the plane!

i work in the aviation line but i'm sure this is a dangerous move...a slow flypast with the head slightly tilted up, in an commercial jet.
