Qantas A380 in Perth for the first time

Tuesday, October 14, 2008
It was all exciting to see the Qantas A380 Nancy-Bird Walton (Reg: VH-OQA) to arrive to Perth for the first time.
Although Perth has 3 Terminals, it is still a small terminal.
I mean the International terminal only has 5 single airbridges.
This would make it near impossible for an A380 to operate to Perth on a scheduled flight.
This was more reason why catching this breathtaking moment was important.
Benny picked me up at around 620 is in the early hours of the morning.
We drove to the Intl Terminal (via mccas breakfast of cuz).

There was a dedicated "car park" or rather just a patch of land reserved for A380 viewers.

Just around 800am the A380 did a very nice fly-by the airport. It went to do a little "play play" near the city.
