Default Qantas A380 Airbus on CH 9 'Today Show"

Quite an interesting weather report this morning on Channel 9's "Today Show" showing the operations of a Qantas A 380 airbus.

Interesting statistics of an amazing aircraft.

Well done !

Are you sure it wasn't VH-OQF? It was in the hangar having pre-service modifications.

100% sure aircraft had Sir Charles Kingsford Smith decals on the front nose.. thus making it VH-OQF.

Was amazing seeing the Flight deck lit up, I thought it was well produced even the fuselage bay and statistics on the tyres as well.

Cheers

Greg... I totally agree 100% with your comments about the possiblity of it being on the You Tube site, especially the Flight Deck part which to me was amazing as the aircraft Flight Deck was lit up, the Captain was demonstrating the camera which aids the flight crew and gives the traveling public a "Birds Eye" view of the aircraft which would be quite an experience too.

This episode or event is still mentally tattooed in my mind it was very interesting I must say.

Thanks

Rgds
