  • Did everyone know that they were going to do a flyby or was it luck that you just spot it?

  • @hypercon64 the local press made a big song and dance about her coming in. This was just a test run as they were having a real one land later in the week to mark the opening on a new terminal wing on the airport

  • were i live in the midlands i am always seeing the aircraft making their approach to birmingham airport and i saw the A380 turning into Birmingham and i couldnt beleive what i saw

  • nice isnt she...

  • this is coming on wednesday to actually LAND. i am going !

  • Lucky for some !! - I will be at work :-( sniff

  • Aha yeh thats true mate! I live In the centre of Birmingham so need to get the bus from the Bullring. Where is the best place to watch this aircraft land from?

    Regards

  • No worries ... I wish I could have been there , alas , I'm in Sydney though .. I will be in Birmingham in November .

  • In response to the 250Kts query ... the tower controller is saying " wind check 250 degs 12 kts " and not a reference to 250Kts at all . The wind speed and direction would have resulted in a 12 kts crosswind , hence the tower transmission .. The aircraft approach speed would have been in the order of 160 Kts .. Hope this clears things up ..

  • Thanks - I knew that someone would know a lot more about this than I do.

  • Nice! I filmed this from that car park too.
