delivered to China Southern Airlines on 9/14/2012 and is Airbus's 88th A380 produced. This majestic bird comes to LAX as CZ's first international destination. What a beauty! Great to see CZ bringing in their flagship aircraft.

I am always astonished by the sheer size of a380. Just enormous!

[Connor Hausmann]

Nope. I've read about it in many places online. All say October or November.

[Connor Hausmann]

They don't fly to the U.S.

i supose that you're wrong about British Airways A380. I think that the "big bird" flight in mid of June or July.

[Connor Hausmann]

Yeap. In mid-October.

[Connor Hausmann]

Not LH. SFO already has it. Malaysia I'm not sure about, perhapes on the LAX-NRT-Kuala Lumpur route. Thai, same thing: LAX-ICN-BKK is a possibility. EK is likely a no, as EK has shown preferences to 388 service at SFO over LAX.

Flown the 380 many times - awesome aircraft

There were 2, the one on the port side was just barely visible and the wind was blowing his water jet backwards (see footage from 2:22)

As the saying goes, "don't piss into the wind" which is what he was doing, figuratively speaking :)

Nice and smooth touchdown!
