A380 Captain flies a Cirrus SR22

[iheart707]

Here's something you don't see everyday - an A380 pilot flying a single engine aircraft! For not flying a Cirrus SR22 for over a year, it was cool to see him flying the airplane quite well considering that there is such a large difference between the size of the airplanes. I know this might have been done elsewhere where a heavy pilot flies a tiny GA airplane again, but the A380 seems to be quite a different animal!

Also as a side note, John Dennis ( should be the correct spelling), is also rated in the 747 and flew that for around 20 years before the Airbus A380 came around. Anyways, I thought you guy's might want to watch this even though the vid's don't actually have any kind of Airbus airframe...
