At last a good news story from Qantas. Â Yesterday the brand spanking new Qantas A380 Airbus took off from Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport for the first commercial flight. Â Winging it’s way to Los Angeles the airbus was packed to the rafters with a large crowd of excited people waiting to check out the new ride. Â The plane was full of celebrities, Qantas officials and crazy tourists (a bit like me). Â Some people were waiting in Los Angeles a few hours just to get back on the airbus and come back home again… Â and it’s a 14 hour flight! Â Â I’m a bit sad that I was not there. Â I had planned to ride the plane in September when it was first scheduled to fly. Â But a delay in delivery meant it would not fly until October. Â A busy time at work for me.
So I will get to fly on the big bird next year when I’m hoping to do another round the world trip.  The guy below is a Melbourne business man, Ron Walker.  This guy is REALLY tall.  Doesn’t that space look comfy!   The plane was met at LAX by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
