Today the world's biggest commercial aircraft recently acquired by Qantas landed in Adelaide for the first time. Thousands of people took up vantage points at and near the airport to get a glimpse of the big 'bird'.It was one of a series of training and promotional flights around Australia before it commences its first commercial service between Melbourne and Los Angeles on 20 October.

Hello Gordon! Parts of this huge plane are built not far from Arradon, in Saint Nazaire. The assembly plant can be visited and every one is quite proud of this expertise.
Hi Alice. I think they do have something to be proud of; a wonderful cooperative achievement. I have seen a documentary about the A380; very interesting.
That is one amazing mechanical achievement, it will be a wonderful service between these two cities.
Oh, I would have Loved to have been standing by the fence to see this and feel the "air" when it was coming in! Hope you enjoyed it!!hughugs
Cool, I would love to go up in one of these planes. They looked pretty impressive.
Great photo! What a marvel of engineering (& that's coming from a competitor's employee :)
