A380 test flight - Hamburg

[Florian_S]

It was high time to take "Big Bird" out of the hanger again!


Impressive! ...F-WWDD stands ready and waiting for us at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport.


Taxiing to Runway 5...little brother has right of way!


Rolling!...


Slowly but surely we climb away...


A beautiful morning over Hamburg!


But we should be concentrating on our instruments and not be looking out the window right?

Nice shots, Florian.
Such an easy bird to fly...assume you will put down at Toulouse, for a little paint?

[Florian_S]

I was actually heading over to the UK....inaugral visit for the A380 to Edinburgh...If I can pull her up in time on the runway remains to be seen!!

Sorry if I have caused any ill health Ian

That AI is a manual install using Airbus Factory flightplans that used to be avaliable on FSFrance, They may still be out there somewhere. I modified the aircraft entries to include all the avaliable EVAI/DJC & TFS "Primer" AI Airbus repaints which are avaliable on Avsim and Flightsim. Even though it is a bit unrealistic to have only primed Airbuses at Hamburg & Toulouse I figure I can see painted planes at every other airport in FS!!
