A380 Photos

This is the text which I wanted to write for the photos I put here, but something was wrong ans so everything I put in here was published in my persian blog. So please in order to see my photos either go to this address or visit my persian blog:

These photos were taken in "Place de Capitole" of Toulouse, the hometown for Airbus and its A380. It was an impressive moment when it took off, and the feeling...

It feels so good when you know you are witnessing something, potentially historical.

Did you really see the plane take off? How did it feel - too much noise? Any vibration? Does the plane really look gigantic?

I love planes and just look at them at awe whenever I see one - how can such heavy thing fly so effortlessly?

I was looking at flickr pictures, and found one that says "school." Where did you get that hubble-bubble (in English it's called that) to smoke from in France? :):). We've those things in India and they were EXTREMELY popular till about 1950's. Now, no longer.

Actually that hubble-bubble is not mine but it is so popular in here as it was in Iran. Here it is called "Narguilé". In Iran it's called "gheliun". In Iran during last year they have tried to prevent people from using it in public places. They've ordered public places not to serve this, but like everything else people tend to do whatever the regime tells them not to.

And about the plane, I was suspicious before seeing it fly, so I wasn't believing my eyes when I saw it taking off so easily and smoothly. Afterwards the pilot said it was easier than riding a bicycle(completely french exageration!) and it took off from the ground with only a push of a button! We'll have to wait and see what will be next in the battle between Boeing and Airbus.
