Not sure if this has been posted before but it's worth a look at in full screen with sound on. :) EricT

Thanks Eric.
Hats off!
I'm in awe of the ability to place such a huge craft exactly on the lines!
Same respect for semi-trailer drivers who reverse into tight loading bays without a second's hesitation. :thumbsup:

Yes thanks Eric, that was a good watch.
I agree Mike, but those Lufthansa guys must have unattainable standards. Even after a landing like that the computer's calling the skipper a retard!! :hide:

Very impressive watching the big A380 coming in. It must have been the first A380 arriving in SFO because I don't think they give the fire truck salute for every flight. You could also see how strong the wind was as the fire truck on side had a much farther arc for its water than the other (obviously not current since they would not allow them to waste the water with the current drought today). Since I live in the area I fly into SFO often but the views in that video were enough to impress a local. Thanks for that.
Joe Cusick,
