Virgin Atlantic **FIRST FLIGHT** Airbus A330-300 | Take Off Manchester!

A very windy morning on Saturday the 2nd April 2011, was history making day, when Virgin Atlantic's very first Airbus A330-300 takes to the sky for the first time in passenger operation, forming VS075 to Orlando Int'l. It pushed back perfectly on-time, but after being greeted with the hose's from the fire engines it eventually took to the skies at 11:29
SKIP TO 1:20 FOR THE WATER FOUNTAIN!
SKIP TO 6:50 FOR THE TAKE OFF!
During the morning some really nasty looking skies hovered over the airport and I thought I was going to get drenched, but just in time, the sky cleared and the sun shone for the A330!

Why does it get squirted with water?

[rachaelmatt]

@etet1111 It doesn't get squirted. They're making a fountain for it to go under to welcome it into the skies pretty much!

[bigpfhefc]

why do they put the under carriage away so soon ?

[rachaelmatt]

@bigpfhefc They have to do it as quick as they can to prevent drag.

i'm also going to oralando 2012, but how do you know what your flying on, any response would be appreciated, thanks

[rachaelmatt]
