At the one end of the race track circuits, it flew right over my place. Could see most of the circuit from the backyard.

It just doesn't look that big in the air, the big wings make the fuselage look small. Quiet too!

just wondering, does anyone know the requirements regarding airspace for the flyover? I noticed on the webtrak that OQB overflew the MCG in controlled airspace before turning north through east and leaving CTA. Was there a temporary restricted area active at the time?

The A380 looked pretty awesome in 3D on the big screen at Hoyts Melbourne Central. A shame the same can't be said for the actual game, just one big blur really. The close ups and slow motion replays looked awesome though. I will be watching the re-match in glorious 2D this week.

If I had stayed home I could have stood in the backyard and watched the A380 orbit around like Martin did.


GO PIES!
