60 MINUTES PURE AVIATION - AIRBUS A380, Boeing 747, Birdstrike ... (4K)

60 minutes pure aviation at various airport in Europe. The first clip shows an Airbus A380 of Emirates arriving at Düsseldorf Airport. A British Airways Airbus A319 departed right before the A380 landed and I always like the motif of a smaller aircraft passing by while a heavy aircraft can be seen in the background. Soon Emirates will start 10 weekly flights to Düsseldorf again with an Airbus A380. Currently they only operate the Boeing 777-300 in its daily Düsseldorf flights. Soon there will be much more A380 content on my channel again ;)
I also included the last Air Berlin Airbus A330 flight at Düsseldorf. The aircraft was greeting by the fire brigade with a water canon salute. It was the last long haul departure of an Air Berlin aircraft. If I remember currently it departed to Miami. I still miss the red tails at Düsseldorf.
Also check out the Boeing 777-200 of LAN Cargo which arrived at Amsterdam Schiphol. Shortly before landing on the Polderbaan it encountered a bird strike. The hugh engines of the Boeing 777 just swallowed the little birds and there was no damage on the B777. The aircraft just departed again two hours later.
The Airbus A380 is a wide-body aircraft manufactured by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. Difficulties in electrical wiring caused a two-year delay, and the development cost ballooned to €18 billion. It obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006.
Thanks for watching, new videos every tuesday and friday.
