Here’s takeoff footage I recorded from yesterday of this A380 taking off from Melbourne, with the Trent 900s this time. Unfortunately the engines aren’t as audible as I wanted them to be mainly due to some white noise from the background, however you can still hear the staged spool up of the Trent 900s. This was followed by a very shallow climb out which i was too lazy to record, must have been very heavy that day.

Here are mine 😁

Every pilot has their “origin story.” Was it a sim, an airshow, a family member, or Top Gun on repeat? Share what lit the spark.

The dreaded medical exam: what surprised you, what was easier than expected, and what should new cadets really be ready for?

Enjoy this powerful take off I captured a few days ago of this Sydney bound A380. (however still quiet in true A380 style😕)
