I'm shocked the 380 craze is still going on. The plane is out there are quite a few in service now. Its gotten pretty common. Although its the only Airbus to actually look different then the others. All of them look exactly the same for the most part.

It will always be a big deal when it visits a new airport, even 10 years from now.

Looks like a great event! Not even the weather could deter the crowds - the AA 763W closeup (Pierre) & the TG A346 (Peter) are great, thanks for sharing!
