Emirates A380 Inaugural Manchester Flight

[wetrunway]

damn my voice is awefull in radio (<- FO on board of this flight)

[Nerxtastic]

A380 is a BEAST. But what a lot of peole don't realise IT'S A PAIN to get in or get out from / into. Boarding starts 1 hour before the flight and it takes about 45 minutes to get all passangers out.

[mfatah281]

Pretty smooth landing!

[iloveairfrance]

What are you shooting with? Your videos are awesome! THANKS

[davrsl]

Great video, love the air traffic controller audio :-)

[strifey07]

That thing is huge! I envy those pilots so much! Must feel amazing to be a pilot, even more so flying that beast!

[o0OFA0o]

arabs FTW !!!

[RyanBachoo]

Why are is the plane being run over water at 2:04? Just curious. :-)

[Scousefire]

@RyanBachoo Its a tradional thing, the airport fire trucks use their monitors to form an arc of water, like a welcome tradition.

[BaXxAgEnTz]

@RyanBachoo

it's like a welcome party basically, happens with most new deliveries of aircrafts.

[RyanBachoo]

@BaXxAgEnTz Oh I get it, thanks mate.

[k0nn0r]

I think this vid turned out great, I like the angle exactly the way it is :)

[Superstreak1]

Awesome video!

[Cath198127]

What a gorgeous plane! Can't wait to go and see one at Manchester! How far away from the aviation viewing park does the wing stretch?? Bet you can almost reach out and touch it.

[miar2006]

excellent video

[Imthegrffitymen]

Damn !! that a380 is so fucking biig !!!

[frankbing1]

Fantastic video and great ATC commentary rather than some stupid music.

[FlightSimAnt]

This thing looks big on the ground! It looks 2x bigger in the skys! Dunno how like lol.

[crasc222]

Awesome quality and nicely filmed! Your videos are good to watch!

[FSXtechno4live]

Why was it washed by 2:00?

great video ;) savedinto fav. :)

[Speedbird103]

@FSXtechno4live Its called a "spray down" it normally happens when an aircraft of that type first lands at that airport or a senior pilot is retiring and its his last flight. Getting a spray down is an honour, as it only happens on very special occations

[vinnieg100]

Never ever be a better aircraft than the B747, this thing is hideous

[MissAlexGermanotta]

You know that TCX at 0:45? The control tower asked if he wanted to depart,but he said no.He reportedly said,"I wanna see the A380 land for the first time at Manchester."

[DannyladMCFC]

@MissAlexGermanotta He certainly did!!! i remember listening to it over my scanner!! :D

[BRUNO46093]

tthats the one I WANT TO BE IN!!!!!

[hmasurg]

Congratulations to MAN and EK!

[sottyuk]

Great footage

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

Most EK pilots are Arabs English or American ;)

Great video!

[bunkerboy02]

Great video! Thanks for sharing, it looked like a perfect day.

Anyone know the name of that pub with a perfect view (it was across the other side of the runway on the video).

[BomberCommand617]

@bunkerboy02 It`s called The Airport Pub, We went there in 2009 while in the U.K. Google Map it and get directions. It was really good, there is a small playground for the kids, meals were ok and has a pay for parking car park.

[bunkerboy02]

@BomberCommand617 Cheers for that. your reply is much appreciated. I will pay it a visit when I'm near Manchester next.

[BomberCommand617]

@bunkerboy02 No worries, We intend to go back on our next visit over there as well. It would be a good Buzz to see the A380 take off over the pub, the biggest we saw last time we were there was an A340.

[acme181169]

@bunkerboy02 Its actually called the 'Airport Hotel' and is owned and operated by Robinsons brewery. To be honest its a bit shabby, a bit over priced and the food is typical pub grub from the 1970's, BUT it gives EXCELLENT views of aircraft movements and everybody is pretty friendly. The car park gets VERY full at the weekends and don't even think about parking on the road

[bunkerboy02]

@acme181169 Cheers, much appreciated. Possibly won't stay over then and take a packed lunch, but I may use their beer garden for a drink! Thanks again.

[reedyspeedy12]

why is there water sprayers that get jetted over the plane on arrival ???

[jfm1907]

Top vid, couldn't make the first day, but saw it land the following day, booked on it, in FC, late October :)

[DaBriars]

top video 

[812mistyeyes]

Wow! Nice shot!

I have seen A380 in Münich airport the first time and its really awesome..

[delpillar]

excellent vid!!

[allwrighty67]

I was there to see it land, great day and good video too !

[alatchford]

great video was a great day for the airport as well i was on the avp for the arrival but moved round to southside firestation mound for its departure

[TheSaadAhmed125]

thats a bit fast!

[xoen6]

..what would Wright say...

[WeggerQF]

Splendid video ! Great Outline !

[VlrginAtlantic]

holy, thats a big bird, amazing video *liked* 

[aviationchannel2010]

How is see a huge plane like this? *.*

[Scote1992]

Good spot, all the other videos have the 747F in the way

[SuperKippax]

jett203 your videos are superb,love hearing the tower to the pilot.keep up the good work.

[TangoDelph]

Great stuff,it really picks up speed for a massive plane.I shall be down there again on Saturday,maybe joes field if on the 23`s,then hiking down runway 2 yet again !!

[clxumh]

That's truly wonderful

[clxumh]

That's truly wonderful



[bananamanuk]

Exceptional video, extremely well done. Its great to see so many people lined up watching the aircraft. I enjoyed this a lot.

[fernousdu972]

super video as always! nice to see the A380 at MAN. You have very good view points there!

[ATLANTA500]

EXCELLENT video nd nice weather too - a bonus

[welchyjd1]

Fantastic video.I managed to get somme good shot,s too.Shame it did,nt go out on 23L!

[garyj79]

Im assuming this is going to be the regular aircraft on the Man-Dubai route? if so how on earth are some of these routes financially viable (if someones in the know) I can understand a 767 or something operating the route but this is a 'BIG' plane as we all know to fill with bums on seats........

[TheCav94]

what a beast!!!!!!

[ManchesterSpotter97]

Great video! Are the A380's at manchester everyday then?

[DannyladMCFC]

@ManchesterSpotter97 yeah every day on the 12:25 arrival!

[SpeedbirdDSA]

Wonderful stuff. I'm gong to have to make a trip over to have a look at her.

[neveneffect1]

How long was the turnaround?

[taylormadejoe]

Fantastic video!

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

Very nice. I filmed her today instead. Departed 23L today at 2.20 so back to normal Emirates departure time too.

[blueb0g]

Nice vdeo, liked the landing. Great quality. Filmed the 2nd landing today, will be uploading later.

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

@blueb0g Which runway did it takeoff from today? Cheers.

[blueb0g]

@1970sPlaneSpotter Took off 23R again today, 3:30PM, 23L opens at 4PM. Was 05's in the morning but wind went calm about 10AM ish, so they switched to 23s.

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

@blueb0g Thanks very much!

[blueb0g]

@1970sPlaneSpotter haha, looks like wrong information! I left airport at 2PM today, was told that the A380 left at the times & runway I said, but MCPC has corrected me there. Sorry Simon :P

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

@blueb0g Actually she took off from 23L today.

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

@blueb0g She also took off at about 2.20pm

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

@1970sPlaneSpotter She took off from 23L. Was there today.

[blueb0g]

@mcpcshowcaseHD Was told wrong information then lol. When are you uploading your video of it?

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

@mcpcshowcaseHD Thanks very much. This is excellent news!

[ManAirportSpotter]

Excellent video mate. My video is poor, I will have to film it at another date, I was on the hills at the AVP to the sides of the viewing spots, it was nice, had people kicking my tri-pod, people just walking past my shot and all sorts, managed to crop some out.

[nikardem]

great video. Five stars. =)

[ionutshowcase]

Awsome , 5***** what camcorder you use ?

[Dudeboy4000]

great video. Was a fantastic day. Was amazing to see

[jamlavaw]

Shame about the landing - a bit bouncy. I don't think the A380 looks as graceful as the 777, 747 or A330/A340s. It's a bit like watching a whale land. However, a very historic moment and it was nice to see the water cannon salute!

[JALAirNZQantas]

Good capture, and good video overall. I'm lucky enough to see this everyday

[wetrunway]

hehe,, i sound strange in radio !

(the F/O for Arival A/C)

[rodgerjohnson]

@wetrunway hmmm as of now I dont know whether to beleive you or not.

[gotz999]

amazing. great video!

[pvmunster]

Fantastic video from ggod videographer

[MonkeyDosh]

Great job again man..

[hamham500]

I was at the viewing park on ladders LOL!

[remkef22]

nice!

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

Super video! I guess we where both expecting at 23L departure!

[Jett203]

@1970sPlaneSpotter Thanks. Were you at the mound?

[1970sPlaneSpotter]

@Jett203 no, I was near the southside fire station.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

amazing! been waiting all day for your video, rest are terrible! is it only 23R shes able to depart from? you gonna get a closer shot when its quite?

[Jett203]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Thanks alot! Alot of people were saying she would only ever use 23L which is why I was set up down there. People now saying it ony used 23R yesterday because of the media and all the people that had pre-paid to go into the AVP. I guess we'll see.

[hurtylfc]

@Jett203 Plus the fact that there's no ILS on 23L :) Great video by the way!

[Jett203]

@hurtylfc He means for departure.

[hurtylfc]

@Jett203 Well, it seems i have been told. Jolly good show.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Jett203 Hmm I guess they asked to depart or told via whoever for those at the AVP for a better view maybe? I don't really know to much about manchester.

[Airlinepilot1687]

Amazing video, cant wait to see it when i go at the weekend. Where did you stand to get this shot?
