Airbus A380 Edinburgh Airport Flypast

Wee video of the first visit to Edinburgh airport by the brand new Airbus A380. Flying in from the south east it passes overhead turning north to perform a flypast of the Forth Bridges before coming back round for a "touch and go" manouvre before climbing skyward into the clouds and off on it's tour where it would visit Glasgow Prestwick, Portrush and Belfast before heading to the Welsh Airbus facility. Unfortunately a strong wind and light drizzle spoils the footage a bit, but the crowds evident show just how "big" this plane is.
Filmed 05 Sept 09.

Excellent vid well done. I was up by the barracks , bit far away but still what an amazing sight. Loved the tipping of the wings on the way to its next destination. Thanks Airbus

Sweet! Can't believe I was at work :(

[@planemadmatt]

It could have landed to be honest, it has a wider runway than both of the runways at Heathrow...(but not as long) hehe
