Airbus A380 made a visit to LAX and although I didn’t catch the landing I was in the area during the celebration. The plane was clearly visible from Imperial Highway, directly south of the airport, near the Flying Chef building. I couldn’t park my car and get out but I was poised at a stop light and got a good glimpse of the A380.

Alone, as it was, it didn’t appear too large from wingtip to wingtip. Where you can tell this is a super-jumbo is the thick, double-decker, fuselage. This is a tall and wide plane, make no mistake.

If nothing else, this passenger aircraft marks a historic event in aviation by Airbus. Hopefully LAX’s $50M runway expansion and upgrade will be worth it.
