Got a surprise e-mail today about a party to welcome the first A380 to IAH as Lufthansa switches their IAH service from the 747 to the A380. Although the position of the viewing area wasn't the best, and you couldn't bring a ladder to see over the fence since they didn't want any unobstructed views. But, despite that, it was still very well set up with free live music, free food, the 'airport rangers' riding on horseback and handing out free water, ATC over the PA-and a bit of history! With daily A380 service now underway, expect better photos from the future from Lee Rd and 27L spotting areas (neither would have worked today since IAH reserved 26R for the A380)
