(Sorry for the reupload, there was an error in the previous version)
VH-OQA is currently the oldest A380 in service in the world. Watched it fly in today, wonderful to see it back in service.
Love the A380 - welcome back to Sydney that very special Qantas aircraft. I'm an oldie at heart - adore the 747s ❤
Isn’t she lovely? Glad to see Nancy back home. Feeling all warm and fuzzy❤😊😊😊
Welcome back OQA!
Woohoo! -Tim
Amazing A380. Butter landing. Welcome back to Downunder.
What a lovely sight indeed!!!! What a beautiful aircraft!!! Welcome home!!
Hi Tim, thanks for this awesome footage of the special A 380 arrival. Good to see it back in use after all of the days in storage. It looks like there were a lot of people there to experience the arrival along with you.
Congrats on exceeding your likes goal in 5 hours.
A proud moment for all you Aussie avgeeks I'm sure
Lucky kurt! Nice seeing QF32!
Good to see VH-OQA back!
Most certainly Justin! Can't wait to see her on a stream soon! -Tim
@@Sydsquad Same here!
Brilliant Guys.
Always There when a Special Moment in Aviation Happens.
Congrats and Well Captured.
Best Regards.
I saw OQA while it was going to Los Angeles. Nice having another a380 back
Love seeing more A380's back in service. And in the new livery. Thanks
The start of the video had that comedy Airplane vibe to it with the A380 on finals and the prop sound in the background. Great video as always guys
Hahah silly Dashy trying to get in my way! -Tim
Maybe it’s because it’s still a bit ‘rusty’ from being in storage 😂😂😂
So glad to see the Qantas A380 is coming back to Sydney. Love your videos as always mate.
Welcome home old girl. We all hope you have many years of safe flight in front of you.❤️
Fabulous Tim, thank you. Just hope she's been looked after well.
510 likes in four hours great job team SydSquad ❤️😎🥳
Welcome home!
This QF A380 is unique in the fact that it is the only one to have been officially christened by the very person for which it is named after.
What’s also interesting is that this aircraft was the one that suffered the uncontained engine failure out of Singapore. The repairs added about 200kgs to the airframe, yet despite that weight penalty the airline chose to retire and part out other A380’s ahead of her.
My daughter was on it yesterday out of LAX QF12. I didn't mention to her the QF32 incident. She would've been scared for the whole 15 hour flight 😆
Just to say (sorry if someone else has already pointed it out) …. this is the plane that was QF26 that fateful day from SIN to SYD. So another reason why it so great to see it fly back into Sydney today
My Fav Plane Qantas 💜💜
I saw it fly above my place about an hour ago operating QF11 to LAX!
She sure is! Then off to MEL :) -Tim
@@Sydsquad no rest after the welcome home; straight back to work...
Welcome back ❤❤❤
Wonderful! Thanks guys as always
Thank you so much Karen! -Tim
Hah wild I saw that flying in as I was driving through the inner west! 🤩
I hope you had a magnificent view! -Tim
Awesome hope to fly on this bird next year
What a Big Beautiful Bird 😄
Very nice ❤
Sure is!
Cheers! -Tim
so beautiful our Aussie Airbus
Awesome ❤
Almost like the King returned from exile.
Ha driving into the city today saw her land, didn't think much of it, now happy I got to see it!
My daughter was on it yesterday QF12 from LAX to Sydney. I didn't tell her it was the same plane that nearly crashed out of Singapore QF32. She would've been scared for 15 hrs lol.
At long last!
Fun fact, the same plane which had tít engine explode. Great video, From Brisbane.
Hello there looks like there was a lot of people watching it come in do you know where it was stored and that weather is better then last nights stream keep it up
I think it was stored in Abu Dhabi.
Stored in Abu Dhabi and previously Victorville. Head to AussieAirliners website to check its history. Cheers. -Tim
*Beautiful 😍*
Welcome back
Welcome home, babe!! 😍
Great job, well done...love it
Thank you! Cheers!
Ojalá los A380 de Qantas lleguen a México City algún dia, saludos desde Tabasco México 🇲🇽
You love to see it
Wow
Welcome back Nancy!
I saw it 👍✈️
Fun fact: this is the exact A380 involved of the accident of Qantas Flight 32
Nancy's back
Bring back the 747!
😮 woah! Hey Kurt it's me jarryd and nice spot!
Oh hey - welcome mate - and hope you didn't get too burnt on the weekend!
Awesome
Qantas A380 💙💙💯💯👍👍
Red Paint is a bit faded!
Welcome back "Nancy"
WELCOME BACK WELCOME BACK WE MISSED YOU WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING FROM SYDSQAUD ALL THIS TIME NAUGHTY NAUGHTY
Photobombed (audiobombed?) by a Dashie, haha! Good to see the old girl home.
What a gorgeous site welcome home ❤🦘
We think so too! :-)
What a beaut 😍
Where was this aircraft parked while in storage? Think of the 1000's of hours of maintenance the airline did on this huge aircraft. The pandemic kept the airline and manufacturer's tech pubs and engineers busy making sure that maintenance was performed according to a schedule, depending on whether the aircraft was in active storage vs inactive storage. ATA 5 and 10
Was OQA qf32 before?
Yep!
This was also one of the earliest a380s to enter service in 2008.
was it stored at alice springs? does this mean all a380s are back in service now?
We're still waiting for OQC to return then they will have all come back. There are a few frames also in maintenance in Abu Dhabi now though. It was stored in Victorville then Abu Dhabi waiting for her spot in for a heavy check. -Tim
@@Sydsquad thanks. I didn't know they did maintenance in Abu Dhabi. Interesting
such a coincidence this aircraft was involved in gantas flight 32.
Crazy how Qantas have taken so long to get all their A380s back into service when BA have had them back for nearly 2 years. Another big mistake Joyce made was scrapping 2 of the 12.
Yep 💯 on both counts.
Well said
ahhhhhh i was stuck on a train so i missed it
Oh no! We almost missed it because of a runway change too! -Tim
😊
Annoying that ATC changed the runway so late....the mad dash from the beach was not ideal ☹️. Thanks TIm for capturing me in the first 30 seconds......how embarrassing 🙃
I was at Sydney airport last night. Due to the curfew so many flights were cancelled. Being a Perth flight and no curfew at Perth’s Airport we were the alone flight allow to access . Also the weather at Friday night one runway was operating. Sydney Airport terrible mess.
The curfew is government mandated, not Sydney Airport or ATC. Nobody can help the weather and airlines must use the optimal runway to meet their aircraft requirements. Not much you can do about it unfortunately. By the looks of things, you arrived so you've got to be happy with that :) Safety before schedule.
Funny because Qantas flights were so expensive but they had aircraft just sitting there doing nothing.
Hope having 9 frames out of storage will help! -Tim
Legendary
-Tim
Wouldn't it be nice if she ever could spend her retirement at HARS with the 747
Not sure if they have room or land/park it lol -Tim
@@Sydsquad There’s always a way ❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking something similar. This aircraft is historically interesting, not only because it was QF's first, but also because of QF32. Maybe Longreach instead of HARS. I wonder whether it could land at either location?
Qf32
Plus I will never fly with Qantas again.
This Arrival only happened because the Leprechaun departed, now to bring them all back and start earning back some of that Tax payers money that bought them.
So glad it is still alive after the famous bird strike!☺️🥹🥲🙃🙂😳👍🥓🌭
This is great watching the planes coming in landing thanks.
💞✈️🛫🛬🛩️💞
Welcome home!
At long last!
