180th X-Plane.org fly-in (Toulouse)

-return to picture archive-

 

Our visit to Toulouse Blagnac Airport this week might as well be called the Airbus A380 fly-in, since it took place on the third anniversary of the super jumbo's first flight from this exact location. Surely enough, there were plenty of A380s around during the event, and some Beluga transports as well, for added measure. Again, all screenshots were taken with real time settings, so it got rather dark towards the end of the fly-in. Winds of 20-30 knots were complicating landings and takeoffs too, though there didn't seem to be any serious problems... guess the high winds just made everyone extra cautious!
