Thumbs up A380 ETIHAD in 1:15

I just came back from a model show in Dortmund/Germany. Here is my favourite. It's powered by four turbines.

To make this A380 he sold his Lufthansa B747-400. Now it is in South Korea. The material costs for this bird were about 30,000 Euro.

So I expect the A380 to be much more expensive.

Excellent stuff. The livery suits the A380 very nicely.

Say what? I have experienced much rougher landings flying Delta. I would say it was an amazing touchdown given the circumstances.

Right before the plane touch down, it looked like they just cut it's power and let it dropped to it's wheels. Given it's a model, maybe they land it differently.
I hope they don't do that on a real plane at least not one i'm on.
