A video showcasing the Airbus A380 Demonstration at EAA Airventure 2009 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This was the first public demonstration by the A380 in the United States. The video is actually a compilation of both the arrival and departure demonstrations...so the demonstration did not have that many missed approach passes. Enjoy!

  • i think that you will find that with a cross wind and a shorter runway he had to bring it down hard to stop in time

  • That was one of the reasons expressed about that type of landing. The aircraft did skid sideways after touch down though...I don't think that was too intentional.

  • What were the winds at landing? Sounds pretty gusty for it to have done a 2 crab approaches and 2 hard landings. One on it's arrival and after the demo.

  • The winds were pretty cross but it only did one landing during the event. Upon arrival the A380 did a demonstration flight that included the landing. When it departed later in the week it flew another demonstration, this time with the takeoff. The video is a splice of both demonstrations. They were both the same, only one had a landing, and one had the takeoff. Thanks for watching!
