Airbus A380 at Kansai Airport

    Last night I heard on the radio news that the Airbus A380 had just landed at Kansai airport and it was going to be in there until the next morning when it would continue a flight back to France.

    Well, I happen to live just 30 minutes away from Kansai airport so I decided it was the perfect chance to see it with my own eyes.

    The only place with a complete view was a little far, but the other airplanes passing in front of it were the best way to compare its sheer size...

    It is damn big...

    The fact I was in front of a double-decker airplane for the first time in my life is something I can always remember by looking at this picture.
