Air France A380

[PaulG-rc]

Just a reminder for those interested , the Air France A380 will be landing at Trudeau this afternoon at 17:30 and leaving at 20.00 if all goes well.
We are ready but we know it will be kaos again like in 2007 :D

Should be a nice arrival as the Crash rescues will create a water arch over the 380 while taxiing on the ramp.

According to the forecast wind will be from the west in the afternoon so the landing should be on 24R.

Can you post some pic later Paul:) or you think the tv news will talking about

[PaulG-rc]

If I have pictures yes I will but it will be on the news for shure because its the 60th anniverssary of Air France and there are 60 passengers that won a trip to France on the 380 and 60 that won from France to come here.

Cool stuff Buddy!

Hope you'll have a Great Capt in there that will let you
in the working office. If so,, ask to seat on the left seat and ask the First Officer to take the photographies. Man you will look good in there ...

Don't forget the stuardess pictures too at the door gate with Capt
have them all around him and in arm's ...

Yea,
the wind will be blowing stront from North west this afternoon.
So no overhead pass over my homebase towards 06L then.

To bad,
I would have got the Nikon out with the 300 lens to capture.

Looking foward towards you and your photographies NOW !!! lol ...

This will be a high security flight so we might not be able to take pictures on board the aircraft.
We have a meeting at 15:30 and I should find out before it comes in if we will be able too.
