Inaugural Air France A380 flights to LHR: Onboard

[tomcollins 1]

I was lucky enough to experience the A380 for myself this weekend, hopping over to Paris on the first A380 operated AF1981 flight on Saturday and returning on Monday. I couldn't get over how quiet she was. Seat 85B outbound (upper deck) and 51L on the return (right at the back downstairs).Here are some shots currently in the a.net queue:And another that doesn't have the quality but shows off the spoilers during quite a rapid descent:

Great shots! On number 4, what is that above the captain's head? It looks a bit like a monitor/screen to me!thanks!

Great shots Tom! I may try to ride the 380 with Qantas if I ever get to SYD lol.

On number 4, what is that above the captain's head? It looks a bit like a monitor/screen to me!

I think it may be part of the HUD system.

I think you're right, thanks!
