Great to see plenty of people out for the arrival of the first Qantas A380.

My very rough video of OQA ("Qantas sixty zero eight") crossing the Parramatta River on final to RWY 16R:

Sorry for the poor quality - will have to practise a bit more to make these better given my [once filming] fixed zoom fixed focus camera!

The quicktime video needs to be viewed as small as possible to make up for the graininess. If you do that you'll be rewarded with what are almost distrails in its own vapour clouds off the back of the wings.

Grahame, were you one of the guys who jumped out of the patrol car in the fluro vest and ran up the mound? It was quite funny to see from Qantas Drive.

Not me Carl, no fluro vest, I was parked in the canal side reserve just off Qantas Drive with the other 50 cars. I did take a couple of shots off my ladder on the grass mound to the east, and then around near the hanger the A380 was towed to.

Good spot by the looks of it, where exactly is it?

Carl, Go to www.16Right.com then Spotting from the Menu and Qantas Drive. The grass mound is just east along Qantas Drive in the first photograph.

Looks like a lot of us were up at Qantas Dr. Really happy with the 16R landing. You've seen all these before, but I thought I'd share...

Credit to my Dad for most of these. I was shooting video while he was taking photos. A couple of the shots here were taken from my video camera.
