I got some shots of the Airbus A380 at last years Paris Airshow (the first official public outing of the plane).

This plane is huge BUT its not as big as one would think. Also on take off it wasnt really as noisy as I had hoped for :) Really wanted to feel my innards rattle but it was more a simple rumble :)

It was a stinking hot day, nearly 40 degrees and absolutely no shade! Those heat shimmers you can see arent from the engines!

Tell you what though, as an airshow venue Le Bouget actually sucked! But thats another story altogether :)
