No A380?

Ladies and Gentleman, the day has come when the A380 will take over air leadership from 37 year old Boeing 747 Series as the world's largest commercial airliner.

The first-firstflight from Singapore to Sydney departed on time, and a big ad campaign in Sydney advertised a low pass to come in the afternoon.

So i took the pilgrimage to the harbour, together with a huge load of other people, to expect the fly by at around 5.30pm.



But nothing happened. Some helicopters hovered around and disappeared. No Airbus A380 to see, no A380 to hear...

At 5.45pm one of the waiting spotters announced that he just got a call that Singapore Airlines Flight SQ380 has safely landed at Sydney Int'l Airport about 10 minutes ago. The disappointment among the crowd was huge, but it was to expect because of the bad weather.

So I wish I could present you some exciting pictures, but sadly, I was at the wrong place.

But I promise more pictures tomorrow, on MY first flight on this exciting new aircraft.
