A380 in Malta

Yep ! It's true. This aircraft is coming to Malta next Saturday.

It's impressive and astonishing, seems completely surreal.

Are you going to see it in the airport? ;) Their size is very impressive when seen at a close distance

Yes seen her but no photos, guess there are a dozen in airliners.net but I didn't dare take a photo. My camera is nothing compared to those spotters and therefore, I preferred enjoying that moment.

Glad you can see her! Just enjoy the quiet sound of her engines and her sheer size, to me it's somehow relaxing

Nice that you managed to see her Gary :). And was she bigger than you'd expected?

The angle from which you see her is really deceiving. While landing, it seemed small, when it took back off, it looked big. When passed for 1 second in front of me, it looked just right.
