A380 First Revenue Flight...

[an-225]

Wonderful day guys, I was there for its inaugural commercial flight. She made a FANTASTIC sneak pass, ala USAF Thunderbirds, and you could not even hear her fly past. My neck somehow pointed itself up into the sky (of its own accord) when I saw the familiar Singapore Airlines livery flying past. I have some great photos, so I will be posting photos of it (and other HARS aircraft) soon.

The Channel 7 and Radio 279 helicopters were fighting with each other for airspace too. Channel 7 buzzed the tower, and proceeded to hover over YSSY, cutting off Radio 279's airspace. Thankfully, the Channel 7 Squirrel was not armed for air interdiction.

Congrats An-225,

I saw the 6pm Channel 7 news and they said the pilot decided not to do a flyby because of the weather!

Can't wait for those pics!

I don't go off half cocked very often, but I apologize when I do! My comments were the result of a bad hear-say/research ratio!  Sorry .

True, all i saw was the ground footage and some quick interviews of the passengers who were about to board...but mostly just the aircaft taking off and landing etc...all of the whole 2 mins max the segment took up...

Since this was bumped, I apologise for not posting the shots yet. I just got buried under a pile of .... and need to find a way to make some time. Will post some in the next few days, sorry again..  :-/  :)
