Wonderful shot on the B1!

Wow, 4th shot of the A380 is awesome! Almost doesnt look real.

Love the bone shot. That could probably be at the top of the list in your "noisy things" category! What a great sound it makes!

Very nice...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

According to a colleague the A380 display had to be seen to be believed.

Nice set Mic.

Agree with him there......a very agressive takeoff (pic #1 is about 10 seconds after leaving the ground ) led into a series of passes including one which wouldn't have looked out of place performed by a Storch (Very slow, very high AoA....must have been very close to stalling speed)

But, after all, it is effectively a big computer controlling it

A very clever computer!

Computers or not good to see an A-380 douing something besides flying in a straight line.

How long until we see an A380 Gunship?    Quite the handling with that whale!!!!

[Willit Run]

All these shots are awesome but, number four stands out for me!!

Great work as always, Mic!!

For number one: It's the Great White Whale!

#4 is simply a work of art.

What is going on in #5? To me it looks like the runway is about to end right at it's gear.

For the rest: Is there an angle that the A380 Doesn't look brilliant from?

And for the last: Cool.  ;)

I just noticed that  :o  Demonstrating the 380's ability to land backwards?  Or just burnin some rubber on take off?  :D
