No, not a spotter. It’s unusual to see an A380 over Mentone at 5500 ft....
It was a tad louder than the TV with Conan the Barbarian ... I was rudely interrupted 😜😜😜😜

Same, brought my daughter home from a party and it passed Hampton twice...and there is mention of dry ice cargo on board if I heard right.

Same. I heard it fly over our house in Ivanhoe, and have been watching it since.

Good ol trusty Autoland to the rescue. Where would Pilots be without it! Forget the hand stuff the thing can land itself! Increased gear risk aside!

What are you talking about? It’s the recommended procedure.
