The small rear-engined plane has a very bright reflection on the right wing either from lights or a movable surface. Lights don't seem necessary for such a clear day and there's no similar sign from the left wing. If it is a slat, should it be extended at that point in the taxi?
Did the AF take the wrong taxiway, instead of going to the end of the runway and taking that one? (Looks like AF still hasn't figured out how to keep their planes nice and shiny....) That looks like an oops.
An A380 can't sit between the two Northern runways, as the plane is large enough to be in the clearance envelope of both runways at the same time. Hopefully the plane is continuing to taxi and doesn't stop there.
If this is a multiple post, sorry. Something may be wrong on either your end or mine. Did Air France take the wrong turnoff? It looks like his right wing is about to destroy the navigation thingy.

On the United RJ, is that sun glare or do they have their landing lights on in broad daylight?

ReplyDeleteOnly thing that looks a like it might be a problem is the Air France A380 seems awful close to the antenna and box next to the taxiway.
