 Airbus A380 touching down a few hundred meters from where I was standing. We were about 100 meters away from the runway when the engines were opened up for take off ... the jet wash was massive from the 4 Rolls Royce engines :)

I couldn't believe how manoeuvrable such a large aircraft is, the pilot was really throwing it around, it was awesome to watch. The pilot approached the runway from a 90 degree angle before swinging it round and landing .... I wanna have a go ;)

Good angle and crop. Can't imagine seeing something that big at an air show. Of course, he had no passengers! :>)

Totally awesome, and I to would be excited if I got a shot of a plane like this one.....

Totally fills the frame, and I like the feeling this one evokes, excitement, power, overwhelming, and just a great shot.....
