For the inaugural flight, the AirFrance A380 was parked at gate 123. Here they are at the south end of the TBIT, at gate 101.
Seen here with an Air Tahiti A340-300
Possibly another one of those only-at-LAX shots: An AirFrance A380 sandwiched between a Southwest B737-300 and a Spirit A320
AirFrance rolling for takeoff on runway 24 left, as Emirates taxis out in a B777-200
Bonus shot!
nice bonus shot
ReplyDeletehow come gate 101 is different from gate 123, was gate 101 built after gate 123?
The main issue is not with the gate itself, but the ground handling getting to/from that gate; 123 is much simpler for all concerned. Getting to gate 101 either deprives us the use of runway 25 right, or requires a tug and a three-point turn, thus depriving us of taxiways Bravo and Charlie.
Deletelove the bonus shot!

ReplyDeleteGreat Air France and Air Tahiti shot. You should title it "A Race to CDG"
