Emirates A380 in town







The Emirates Air humongous A380 is giving tours over on Imperial at LAX. We'll see how much noise these suckers make when they lift off. Some of the older planes seem to be the worst offenders. I think that's a New Zealand Boeing 747 in the foreground, for perspective. Ooh, it's gone now, and I'm about to drive by there.


Update: Greg, who is now "Mr. Boeing" says:
In your blog you called the plane in the foreground a 747 not a 47. Probably a 777 2 engines no hump. Seems too wide to be a 767 but may be. 757 is skinny.

I knew that about the hump but the feed was grainy. Anyhoo, it's back at the museum after tooling around the runways I suppose. No noise yet. It will probably take off at 3 AM or something.







Update to Update: Greg and Amelie went by later on and it was back. They took these pics.
