The first A380 commercial flight, Singapore to Sydney, my home town and base airport!

Qantas has 20 of these on order and the first one arrives next August. I could have scored the last Captains slot offered in the first allocation but declined as it would mean doing a lot of reserve work for the next 5-8 years.

Now I kinda wish I had! Oh well, will just have to put up with the A330 for a few more years..

One big beast alright.

I worked at Heathrow Terminal 5 for 2 years constructing it, all ready for the A380, can't wait to see the first one land there.

BA have 12 on order too.
