The A380, as it lives and breaths.

EXCITING EXCITING EXCITING!!! It's taken me a while to actually get off my butt and get the photos of Sam's camera, but last week the A380 landed in Brisbane for the final time until late 2007... and I was there to see it!!! I traipsed through ankle-deep mud and cutty grass to get past the loser kids who were missing school to see the A380 land and hung out on the side of the runway for 40 minutes, snapping photos of EVERY SINGLE plane that landed. I even gave up my free train ticket back to the city to wade through the "sewer" to get a closer view of the A380 at the international terminal (maybe the sewer means I shouldn't have been there... but oh well). It was absolutely brilliant and it's a magnificant and really beautiful plane. I sat there for a good hour just watching it (and all the other planes as well). At the same time, there were 3 747s at the gates... I was in HEAVEN;) No, it's not lame, everybody has something that they love and are passionate about, mine just happens to be airplanes and airports (yes after, I hung out and people watched at the int terminal). Here are more photos of the A380 landing:








Now, you can't tell me that that isn't one of the most beautiful sights ever! OMG, one of the best days ever!


Just to prove that I'm not just proclaiming bragging rights to the A380, here are some more moments of last week that got me overly excited:



Who says that kiwis and aussies don't love each other!







So overall it was an amazing day, even if nobody else could understand my excitement. So, yes James, yes I did see the big plane land;) I don't expect you all to be reading this with your mouths hanging open and prancing around with excitement, but FYI... I was;)
