Qatar Airways´ first A380 takes off...


...for the very first time, from Toulouse in France to Hamburg, Germany, where the rest of the interior and exterior work will be done.
In Hamburg it is to be fitted with a cabin, according to Qatars´ wishes and also when it comes to the exterior the paint scheme.
Qatar Airways has firm orders for ten A380s, and sometimes in early 2014 it will take delivery of this particular aircraft, as the eleventh airline to join the proud and prestigious club of A380 operators.
With Doha as it´s homebase.

Up to this date from entering into service in 2007, 108 A380s are crisscrossing the skies of our planet, and so far there has been over 120,000 commercial flights. 
I have have flown it from Sydney to London, if you ever get the opportunity to choose, choose A380, not only for the thrill of it, but also for the comfort, the quiteness in the cabin, it´s stability in the air, it´s slow-motion action when taking off and landing, 
It is with dignity this giant moves like a spermwhale in the air.
