Yup, a very smooth takeoff.  Looks like it is all going very well!  

More people than I thought got on the plane.  There were cameramen who also got on board.  I hope we can see what happened in the cockpit during the flight sometime later.

Yes, it is fascinating to watch it this way--especially with others here, and watching the comments fly along with the A380.

A bright red livery would be nice. Make it look like a double-decker bus.

[Richard C.]

if qantas get a380's they may put their wanula dreaming livery on it.

i don't think they have orders for it yet tthough

boering isnt even going to answer to the a380.

instead they are moving into the medium range market.

All's fine so far, the test pilot's report.  
When everything goes fine it will touch down in about 5 hours.


What was the feeling you had when it started to roll and take off ?

Tell ya, my heart beated faster, and I kept my fingers crossed  




Got it on tape so I can see it again and again

Well, in one moment, it put to rest all the doubter's claim that this gigantic plane couldn't fly.    

[Richard C.]

i didn't know whether it was going to takeoff or not

i could just picture it going into a depature stall.

Is there some fact in that, or is that a random guess? Wunala Dreaming isn't just a livery, Its a plane.

How do you know that ? A UK Boeing representative (aparently) Gave mention of the 747ADV on Television.
