March 5, 20242 yr Retiring Lufthansa performs a wing salute on his last flight in an Airbus A380 at KLAX. https://supercarblondie.com/lufthansa-airbus-a380-wing-wave/ Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
March 5, 20242 yr Administrators Would have been more spectacular to do a military takeoff full power down the runway and lifting off at the very end and pointing it straight up! Reminds me of when the last EKA-3Bs from VAQ-129 left NAS Whidbey Island just before I transferred down to NAS Alameda, One pilot was so happy he did the full power takeoff, pointed it straight up and was at the top part of a loop when he did an aileron roll and was now flying in the opposite direction. Very spectacular! ✈️ Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
March 6, 20242 yr I suppose a bean counter might have calculated that stunt cost the airline €48.28 in extra fuel or thereabouts. Take it out of his retirement pay. Nah, I'm sure it was fine, and safe enough. I don't think I would have even noticed in the back of economy right after takeoff in an aisle seat, probably not really listening to the announcements anyway. I do like the A380 though.
