A380 landing 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. 800 PLUS PASSENGERS Airbus A-380 First Landing at 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.

Good video thanks for posting. My son got to ride one home from Germany last year. Huge plane, I really got appreciate the size when I drove by one here at Bush International.
I wonder how long it would take a right handed person to adjust to having to fly using the joy stick with the left hand. Sounds rather awkward to me.
