has anyone noticed that sq uses '123 super' for its 380s in certain airports? is that a show off thing or do we need to know cause that whale really produces more wake than a normal 'heavy?'
I've seen Emirates do that into SYD as well. Personally I think it's a good thing as it reminds the rest of us heavy drivers that we actually need to think about wake vortex separation today as we're not the heaviest thing in the sky any more.
