Thanks to a DFW Spotters member who works out @ DFW Airport and Phil Plank, I got word that the Lufthansa A380 from Frankfurt had diverted from Houston due to weather. I quickly headed that way as DFW never sees A380’s. I snaked around a few street and was able to get up and close. Phil and Mike met me out there and we had a very nice conversation with the senior Photographer for the FW Star Telegram Paul Moseley. I was even able to assist him by letting him jump up in the bed of my truck to get some better shots. A couple other planes of interest were on display as well. I really enjoyed seeing this beast takeoff and in fact, they even closed the runway after his departure to make sure he didn’t crack the surface on takeoff! Enjoy the pics!
Man that monster dwarfs that 737
Those are some nice shots
that thing is huge we wont see anything that big around here
diverted traffic….. Nice catch 4 sure… not very often we can catch a Nice A380!
We made the paper…
