For #WidebodyWednesday I thought I'd go for the widest of them all 😉, the #Airbus #A380.
I shot this in December 2015, when #Lufthansa did some crew training on the #SuperJumbo at my local airport #LeipzigHalleAirport.
Local media had announced the A380 coming for training flights and as you can see in the beginning of the video, lots of people came to see it.
If you're in a hurry: the most impressive shots are about 2:10 minutes into the video.

#BIG_GREEN_ENERGY | An A380 #SUPERJUMBO just completed a flight POWERED BY #COOKING_OIL:)
The #Airbus_A380, a behemoth of the skies, has completed a trial flight powered on cooking oil.
The test #airplane completed a #three_hour flight from #Blagnac_Airport in #Toulouse -- Airbus' French headquarters -- on 25 March.
It was powered by #Sustainable_Aviation_Fuel, or SAF -- #predominantly made of used cooking oil and #waste_fats -- and operating on a single #Rolls_Royce #Trent 900 #engine.

#Airbus hat heute den letzten #A380 ausgeliefert. Der #Superjumbo ist von Anfang an unter einem schlechten Stern gestanden und ich verstehe kurfristig auch die Gründe für sein Ende.
Längerfristig werden wir das aber bitte bereuen, wenige große #Flugzeuge sind für mich die viel bessere Alternative zu vielen kleinen.
