The streaming link from Airbuis is fantastic. The sight of the gear being retracted was really great.

Due to land any minute now.

in the words of Peter Griffin: "Friggin' sweet!"
well she's finally where she needs to be. watching her right now. i wanted to get up early enough to catch it on tv but i didnt wake up until 5 but i caught the replays of the t/o on CNN.
something worth getting up at 5 for.

Well said, Adam.

If anybody other than Sam tried to upload those shots, they'd have to wait three weeks to have them rejected for bad angle and backlit

Come on.

They are accepted because of the rearity of the subject. It doesn't matter who takes them.

[pilotgolfer]

Do you think they are conducting post flight ground tests, or just milking this for all the publicity they can?

Either way, it's a great show!

I'm speechless...What an absolutely amazing sight! With this we have entered into a new era in Aviation!

Pave the way, A380!
