Welcome to America!


A quick post to salute the first arrival of the Airbus A380 in America.

Actually, I should say the first arrivals. Let me explain why: It was agreed that the first airport to welcome the A380 was LAX near Los Angeles. Of course, New York did not like this at all and pressure both Airbus and Lufthansa to modify their plans and have the big apple to be the first city to greet the new machine.

As a result, Airbus decided to have not one but two planes land in the US at the same time at both LAX and JFK.

Unfortunately for Los Angeles, History will remember that the first plane to touch down was in New York and not in California. The LAX plane landed only minutes after the JFK one.

Anyway, It's an historic moment for Airbus.
