Singapore Airlines Airbus 380-800 9V-SKC / 2008.04.16

LHR (Heathrow airport. London, United Kingdom)

The day I post this picture, April 27 2015, marks the 10th anniversary of the first flight of an Airbus 380. A couple of years later, Singapore Airlines became the first operator of the aircraft and this is my first picture of such a massive airplane, precisely one of SIA. I was on a long layover at LHR (London Heathrow) and decided to walk to the gate to catch it while preparing for its flight back to SIN (Singapore).

This is 9V-SKC, the third one delivered to the company, barely a month before this picture. You can see how brand new it looks.

I got the chance for yet another first with this particular aircraft, since this was the one I flew on my first Airbus 380 trip, in 2013.
