June 14, 201213 yr So for the past month and a half I've been on vacation in Washington D.C, Paris, and currently in KL Malaysia at the moment. I thought I would share my pictures and my oh so wonderful landing at CDG. [media=] [/media] This wasn't even the worst flight we had. The Emirates A380 we took from CDG to Dubai intl was so bad the person infront of me was using a paper bag to breath in. Landing we bounced a few times :S and my photo blog http://Kraftyy75.blogspot.com Danny Trimble MOBO: Asus Maximus IV Extreme CPU: Intel I7 2600K @ 5GHz RAM: 8GB Corsair Dominator @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 GPU: XFX AMD Radeon 6990 in OC mode PSU: Antec 1200W CASE: Corsair Obsidian 800D HEATSINK: Custom Liquid cooling set-up HDD1: OCZ 50GB RevoDrive x2 (ONe for Windows, One for FSX) HDD2: Western Digital 1TB Sata3 | 64mb OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

June 14, 201213 yr Author lol, Washington D.C was really fun but was really cold one of the days. Where do you work there? Dulles Airport? The A380 was amazing to fly on. -800 Series. Other than the extreme turbulance it was good. Flight from dubai to KL was smooth. I assume pilots were new as both landings in it we hit the ground pretty hard.

June 18, 201213 yr Commercial Member lol, Washington D.C was really fun but was really cold one of the days. Where do you work there? Dulles Airport? I used to, but I quit that job a while ago for various reasons. I work halfway between DC and Dulles now for a computer training firm. I fly out of JYO, which you probably flew right over after departing IAD (if the departure was on runway 30, or to the south). The A380 was amazing to fly on. -800 Series. Other than the extreme turbulance it was good. Flight from dubai to KL was smooth. I assume pilots were new as both landings in it we hit the ground pretty hard. Hard landing doesn't always mean new pilot. If it's windy, you should plant it. If you're just having an off day, you can plant it on accident. Beyond that, some argue that it's a lot better to plant it firmly than try to grease it. Kyle Rodgers
