Planes and stuff

Assinalam-se hoje 10 anos sobre o primeiro voo do protótipo do Airbus A380. Sem dúvida uma data a assinalar.. Deixo as análises de sucesso e / ou perspectivas de futuro para outros... Por aqui, partilho 4 fotos do F-WWOW, precisamente o A380 com o c/n: 001, que tive a felicidade de poder fazer apenas um par de meses após o primeiro voo, aquando do Paris Air Show 2005, em Le Bourget, certame onde foi apresentado o aparelho. Fuselagem frontal, com as companhias de lançamento do aparelho Bons voos!

This week, haven't been to the airport, so nothing new was actually calling my attention for the highlight of a Photo of the Week . So, decided to get back some years and elect one of the Airbus SuperJumbo A380 pics I had... Back in 2005, the equipment was worst and the photographer was also definitely worst...so, despit the dozens of pics taken at Le Bourget - Paris Air Show , not many are really worth to share... Anyway, it's not everyday you get the oportunity to photograph the first of a kind, specially if it's a special kind, like the A380 ... F-WWOW

With the news of the first A380 for Air France, decided to share as this week's Photo of the Week a memorie of the first (and only) ocasion I saw the A380 live. It was back in 2005, in the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget . Definitely the star of the Air Show, the teste plane was beeing seen for the first time on an Air Show. We (Madeira Spotters) stayed really near the bird and what a sight... (although I remembered thinking I was expecting something more "outstanding" when it was on the ground) But in the air....really honours it registration (F-)WWOW!! For now, only this pic, will share some others later altough made some really bad shots due to inexperiency...
