Paris Air Show – A380
Star of this year’s Paris Air Show has got to be the Airbus
380. Up close it is an impressive plane. At times in flight it
looks like it is moving too slowly.
Also impressive is how quiet it is. As it flew by in approach
configuration, most of the noise appeared to be aerodynamic
noise from the airframe, not the engines.
Our hangar is right alongside the taxiway and we were able
to get up close and personal with the A380.
Watch out for that Winglet!
