Hi folks,

 

Today i was spotting at heathrow and a QANTAS Boeing 747-400 Came in, what is onw quite rare with all the A380'.

The Aircraft was a charter and had originated in Frankfurt

 

 

Here are some images!!!

Soon those 747's will most likely only be seen flying the charter routes to Antarctica. They are expanding those sight seeing flights to Auckland now as well.

I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me 

Sightseeing flights to Auckland?? Couldn't help myself.

 

A coincidence, as this morning I saw my first a380 (non-airshow) and at first in the corner of my eye I thought 'theres a large plane about to stall!' it was going seriously slow in our strong winds. Something so large going so slow, incredible stuff.

The A380 looks like it's going too slow, because it's so big! I see them come in over London regularly, and they seem so stately, more like an airship than an aeroplane. For me it has that Concorde effect - you have to look up, although being so quiet you've a lot more chance of being surprised by it.

 

Just love that aircraft...
