A pity for the fence, but what can you do, eh. A spotter's nightmare.. good video anyway, thanks for sharing!

Very nice video. 5 Stars. Qantas will be making their debut to London Heathrow with the A380 on 17 January 2009 and I'm looking forward to seeing her for the first time. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, VH-OQB arrived in Sydney yesterday and will be joining VH-OQA on the MEL/SYD-LAX runs. VH-OQC is the bird which will allow the SYD-SIN-LHR route to start A380 service

I was also on the flight & if you thought the takeoff was quiet on the outside it was just as quiet on the inside. Great video.

[dannyboy7117]

Thanks and from what i saw on the news looks like you all had alot of fun!

[A380busboy]

Great vid of the departure, I was actually in the right-hand seat and am building a collection of mementos of the flight. Thanks very much.

Very nice mate, I noticed that unlike the 744 services to LAX you guys went further south then tracked over CORRS and headed out that way rather then going DOSEL and over Sydney. All thanks to the flightaware tracking :)

[dipper64]

so quiet...

[dannyboy7117]

It sure is

[slackpad]
