    The ground antics are more entertaining than the landing

    I'm interested in aircraft, my father flew 25 types in WW2. I've flown on DC3, VC10, A380 three times, sailplanes, and multiple more modern passenger jets. Probably only need the 787 to complete the set.

    And still I don't get why such interest wouldn't extend so far as to not just go fly on one.

    How often have any of those been flown into knock for scrapping?

    Rhetorical.

    Thread is for what it's for, noone's forcing you to read/post.

    Well done go collect your chocolate medal at the nobody cares counter.



    I think the interest here is an a380 landing in a small regional airport in Ireland. “Going flying on one” is not the same thing

    Taken in portrait rather than landscape :rolleyes:

    Folks videos should be taken in landscape, you wouldn't go to the cinema to watch a video taken in portrait.

    Have they only go the inboard engines on - or why have the outboard thrust reversers not deployed?

    Thats a design feature. No reverse on outboards.

    Seriously though. Would you not need a specially designed tug to push or pull something that size? For some of the really heavy birds don't you need to actually get under the nose wheel and jack it up?

    Its relatively light now though, the ATC could probably go out and push it (the last bit is a lie)

    It's like the terrified aircraft is saying "I won't go into that scrapyard... You can't make me!"
