Just thought you might enjoy seeing this humongous A380 as it makes its first landing at San Francisco airport.
In case you've ever wondered what it would be like to land a "flying city", here's a look at it! What a beast............ Can't imagine 800 folks on the same airplane!
This is an incredible video of a German Airbus landing at SFO. The approach shows wonderful and memorable views of the GG Bridge, the Presidio, the Bay Bridge , and the approach to SFO.
The pilots sit away from everything, no yoke, etc. Captain pulls up a keyboard once in a while to enter info but the plane does most of the work.....
For best results go "full screen" on your monitor. It will seem like you are in the cockpit.

It's about 15 mins. long......but I didn't notice....was too busy seeing what they were seeing on the ground.
