F-1 Bahrain GP Sponsor's Airbus fly-by

Just curious to know how much the A340-300? Airbus missed the racetrack architectural ironmongery by during the 3 passes? Any pics?

Sorry m8, I missed the A340 missing the racetrack architectural ironmongery. Just made home in time for the start of the race proper.

aviate 1138,
Are you trying to be a tosser or does it come naturally?

Aviate 1138 replies, politely.......

As in the UK, so called Air Displays are kept at almost Flight Level altitudes, I was hoping someone had pics of the Airbus at more interesting altitudes - just like the good old Farnborough days when test pilots were allowed to use their own considerable judgement.
CaptSnails - Bet you are fun to fly with!! What sort of trail do you leave behind you?

aviate1138,
Seems a reasonable Q to me esp considering the forum.
Sounded like fun aviating but I've known a few peeps die that way.
Oops just been ordered to mash the spuds for dins.
