Emirates Airbus A380 A6-EDE visited Birmingham Intl. Airport (BHX) on the 9th of September 2009 for the official opening of the new International Pier and to help celebrate the Airport’s 70th birthday.

I took the day off work to go and see this marvel of engineering in the flesh. It was well worth the effort! This is one seriously BIG aircraft. I wasn’t prepared for just how big it is compared the the next biggest, the Boeing 747. You just have to see it to believe it - it’s spectacular!
