Just got back from watching the A380 fly over Wichita Mid-Continent airport. Supposedly the runway is long enough, but not wide enough for it to land. We had a good spot in a parking lot just north of the west runway, it literally flew right over our heads. Big, but not as overwhelmingly large as I expected. Of course, things normally look smaller at 500 ft. and 150 kts. Still, pretty damn cool. Also very quiet, but europe is ahead of the US regarding noise regulations. The purpose of the flyover was to salute the Wichita aerospace industry, as well as the local Airbus engineering facility that designed parts of the wing.

Sorry for the crappy pics, my good digital camera is broken, so the camera phone was the only option.
