Airbus A380 Turns 10

MY COLLECTION OF A380 MODELS



10 years ago today the world's biggest commercial passenger jet made its first test flight . European Aircraft maker Airbus celebrated the milestone for its flagship aircraft, saying the jet was helping to shape the future of air transportation. The first Airbus A380 in Airbus colours with an MSN of 001 and the registration F-WWOW took to the sky's.

Singapore Airlines become the first airline to fly an A380 with paying passengers in 2007.

Today there are 317 firm orders by 18 customers for the passenger version of the Airbus A380-800, of which 155 have been delivered to 14 of those customers as of February 2015.

Below are some images of Airbus A380's that I have taken including the arrival of the "Airbus Industries A380" world tour, seen here with Qantas decals back in November 2005.
