First experience with the Flying Whale

[james84]

From today, 1 December 2011, Emirates will fly a daily A380 to Rome.
They already came once with the beast to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the airport. Here is the beast flying over my house in Rome for its first retail flight, and it's the first time I see the A380. It's surprisingly SILENT!
Now on to the 787 on Dec. 15!

i flew the quantas A380 from heathrow to sydney with a stop over in sing of coarse, but i was impressed how quite it was, best flight i've ever had

What about the windows? I flew the A319-20-21 several times, and all of them have windows much smaller compared to the ones you can find on the 737s!

Hmmm, sounds only a tad more interesting than watching Big Brother for 23 hrs! now where was the bar?

I have seen probably every A380 that is in service today. Living close to Airbus Hamburg makes it possible

But you will beat me on the B787...

If the weather is good I'll definitely go to FCO and take some shots!
