Qantas A380-842 VH-OQD at LAX for a late night departure

One of Qantas' 11 Airbus A380s, VH-OQD name Fergus McMaster, is seen at the Bradley International Terminal as it is ready for a late night departure. We taxi along with it as it takes to the dark skies for a 14+ hour journey.

aahhh yes, night shooting - for this you need to be close and it does'nt get much closer than this!! Beautifully shot under the lights and great to hear the atc radio as well (it's always interesting to hear how other airports communicate with aircraft) I love the taxing shot on 1:41 The 380 in the dark ,2:40, is like an oceanliner on the dancefloor!! (with all the coloured lights) . The night DOES play tricks with the eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was that video taken on July 24, 2011? I flew VH-OQD on July 24 and left one hour late depart and pushback straight to taxiway from gate 101 while security cars with flashing lights follow my plane to south side of taxiway after cross both runways just like you showed this video. Tell me that is really on July 24th on the night from LAX to MEL.
