I’m still a bit in awe deep down inside that an aircraft of this size can take flight.  Not only take flight but fly as many as 500 people for as much as 8000 miles.  It really is a wonder.  Here are some videos about the A380:

 

A380 Crosswind Landing in Iceland

 

The A380 Brake Test (laboratory)

 

The A380 lands hard in Oshkosh, Wisconsin

 

The A380 lands at JFK airport the first time.

 

First A380 landing at LAX airport.

 

And the first landing of the A380 at London Heathrow airport.
