@@speedbird0094 - Hey, it's a pleasure! I enjoy watching aircraft movements, and this was a particular day when things didn't quite go according to plan! Of course, your own list of aircraft types helped me considerably in my listing! Your photography and camera equipment are excellent, and I know it's not always easy to cover all the shots all the time, because circumstances and relative positions change. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll look out for more of your output, and would be happy to put timestamps on future shows as and when I catch up with them. Good luck with your channel, and you must be encouraged that this particular show attracted 1,750,000 views... remarkable! 😀William
@@mtm4a really appreciate your kind words. This is all quite new for me although I've always had the plane spotter in me. To think I nearly didn't put this up thinking it was too long. Again thank you for your work and people like yourself make it all worthwhile 👍✈👍
The runway was extended when the a380 was announced. Birmingham Airport have a UA-cam timelapse video of the work been done. Thank you for your kind words and taking time to comment. 👍✈👍
I had the privilege a few times. My absolute favorite and it boggles the mind when you see this huge piece of metal and you wonder how it can possibly fly.
If you give anything wings that wide and that long I assure you it will try to get into the air without much effort, the real trick t=is to keep the wings intact
Saw one landing at Stuttgart airport as we were waiting to take off. Our Captain gave us a running commentary on every move - he was so excited! He actually said he was amazed at how such an enormous aircraft could take off!
Wow, what a dramatic turn of events! The aborted A380 take-off at Birmingham Airport and the ensuing disruption make for quite the story. Looking forward to hearing more details in the description. Thanks for sharing!
It was quite an event at the time for my local airport. I do the odd live stream now and if you watch one you will see that the airport is usually a one in one out kinda airport. To see so much traffic build up on this particular day was for us locals quite spectacular 👍✈👍
Glad you enjoyed it buddy. If you enjoyed this video please look for my a380 playlist on my channel. All my posted 380 videos are there ✈ Greeting to you all in Australia from here in the UK 🇬🇧
Amazing! I loved to see the wind structure from the back. It takes a lot lift to suspend something so big into the sky and I can see how the wing accommodate that so beautifully!
I've said in many a reply the beauty of this plane may not be so much about its looks but more probably the amazing engineering to get something so large in the air. I have seen wing test videos on yt and its amazing the limits they have to achieve. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. Appreciated. 👍✈👍
Thank you so much for your kind words. Its comments like your that motivate me to keep trying my best. Thank you again for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
Just watched this for about the 3rd time! Hats off to you Speedbird great video buddy, brilliant catch. Its nuts how something like that can cause disruption so quick in our smaller airports in UK. Great job!
Its not always like this. Birmingham Airport does have its quite spells and its usually a one in one out kinda Airport. Appreciate you watching and your comment 👍
Glad to see the A380 has been resurrected ... my wife and I regularly commuted LON-SIN before Covid and always re-arranged our schedule to book on an A380 ... huge sense of interior space, quiet and stable in the air ... it felt safer because of its sheer size!
It's Q.C has always been questioned by a few airlines right from their first flight. One of the worst was the delivery to the Australian Airlines "Qantas" on the route to Sydney
Flown several times to SIN and brilliant. Also lived/ connections to Windsor and love to watch them , feel the power, as you do as a passenger brilliant plane
Great to see the return of the A380, cheers for sharing your video - always a fantastic an imposing figure of an aeroplane (y) Have been lucky enough to fly several times with Emirates from here back to Hong Kong. Last flight was back in 2018 when I turned left and up a few stair into the upper deck area which had been converted to economy - around 30 seats from memory with dedicated staff just for this section.
That was an interesting a rare catch of the Emirates A380 aborted takeoff. You got some nice shots of the other movements too, great views at Birmingham at that location. Nice one to stick with it and catch the departure too.
Thank you and im glad you understand what was happening here. Must admit I was reluctant to put this up originally been so long but glad I did now. Thank you again for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
What a beautiful plane! Gorgeous but my goodness, those wings! Looks like they’re gonna just snap right off from the weight. It really is an engineering marvel.
Glad I finally got to watch this Speedbird, great video well done buddy! Love the view from that location too. Thanks for sharing and great camera work!! 👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I flew the amazing British Airways A380 a few months ago roundtrip from DFW to London. Effortless takeoff & landings with incredible space... Loved flying on this plane, as much as the 747's, A350's and my luckiest upgrade of my lifetime in 1997....the Concorde.
Thanks buddy. I throughly enjoyed watching this aborted take off a couple of times myself. Glad I was there to share this aborted take off for everyone 👍✈👍
Thank you for your kind words. At first I wasn't going to post this thinking it was too long but a majority of people including yourself enjoyed the video. Thank-you again for watching. 👍✈👍
Regarding the Follow-Me / Ops vehicles. Birmingham, like most airports hosting Code F (aka Code VI) operations will have trail vehicles during taxi and takeoff. The vehicles help monitor Main Landing Gear to Pavement Edge distances and turning radius, and perform real-time inspection for damaged infrastructure (lights, signage, pavement, etc.) and debris blown onto runway by jet blast. Runway inspection typically not required following landing as only A380 inboard engines have thrust reversers.
Great explanation 👌 really appreciate that. Hopefully a lot of people who watch this will read your comment. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
It seems to be a bit of a Marmite plane. You either love it or hate it. I love filming it every time I see it. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
Yea the zooming exaggerates the slightest movement but I wanted to film as much as possible before the rain came. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. Appreciated 👍✈ 👍✈
Glad this video brought back those memories for you. With the 747 its quite rare at Birmingham Airport although I have posted one video of a cargo 747-400. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words. One of my first attempts at filming so didn't get it all correct but comments like this make it worthwhile getting out there to capture moments like this 👍✈👍
Unfortunately the camera doesn't show how close this gets a Birmingham Airport. Only can I recommend seeing it real life but I'm with you on your comment. Thanks for watching 👍✈👍
I am directly under the approach path for Dulles in VA. I see the 380 fly over at 12,000 feet every day. It looks to be more like 5,000 ft due to it's size. Never fails to impress me.
@@speedbird0094 I wish i paid(SQ11) for the higher end fare to get some of the amenities. I'm just glad that they're still in the air and not converted into some Cargo carrier.
Lots of carriers have got A380 out of mothballs. Have flown Emirates A380s about 8 times and their business class is great. Fold flat seat that's wide enough to turn over in. The side seats are staggered at an angle, so no legs to climb over when getting to the Loo. The bar at the rear for drinks and snacks, love the plane. Sadly, the leg from Saigon to Dubia is on a B777 nice but not great.@@gewglesux
Amazing video i enjoyed watching fully, thanks for making this video. By the way i flew on A380 emirates aircraft on 19th nov 2023, to Dubai from India Bangalore. It's an amazing aircraft
Hi Nick. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. This is all very new to me, a journey from still photography to using a camcorder. Just a bit of fun. All good and hope the same for you 👍✈👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words. If your interested i have a playlist dedicated to all the A380 videos I have posted from Birmingham Airport. 👍✈👍
@speedbird0094 I'll check it out. I remember being at Birmingham airport in the 70s watching aeroplanes.....and we didn't see any I seem to remember! What a difference now. My Dad took us to Ringway Manchester, too. That dates me lol.
@@npr1300A8 so glad my video has contributed to you sharing your memories with us. I too have memories as a kid of the planes from the late 70s. Them days we would watch over the small wooden picket fence or the viewing area. Seeing Bac1's Viscounts the fellowships tristars and 727s etc. Great times 👍✈👍
@speedbird0094 I always dreamt that I'd go on the 747 after seeing one at Manchester Ringway, and in 2005, my dream came true! My late wife, daughter and I were lucky enough to go to Florida for our holiday that year. Wow, what a beautiful aeroplane inside! I have video on my channel of the take-off at Manchester and our excitement is obvious!
What is the price you are willing to pay extra, for this comfort? 5$ 10$ 15$ 20$ Just thinking and ratifying price/comfort, then we write to the airlines and tell them. That will bring this beautiful plane flying again, longer, bigger and quiet
No the other way around. The 380 would have taken off just before the police helicopter. The only thing I could think off it was so low on fuel it had to take priority. Appreciate you watching and your kind words 👍✈👍
@@speedbird0094 If the helo had been a flight emergency the A380 would have been held until the helo had landed. What happened here was either an ATC screw-up or the helo pilot exceeding his ATC clearance limit and getting too close to the A380. The A380 in any case will generate no wake vortex until airborne, which would have been well beyond the helo.
I appreciate your thoughts here but the real answer is we shall never really know. I carry a radio now and I'd only just started filming when this incident took place. Its provoked all kinds of comments and to think I thought this video was too long to put up at the time.
Love flying in this big bird to Dubai such luxury go often to see family love being able to have a shower before landing and you feel so fresh service is wonderful.
Really know how to make me jealous. Maybe one day for me. Glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back memories for you. Thanks for watching 👍✈👍
Have flown Emirates regularly to Dubai since 2005 when they first started operating the 380. Usually 1sr class. The difference now to then is tremendous. You basically get your own room and amenities including showers are available.
There has been a few comments about the cars. But every arrival and departure ive seen they have been there. The wind vortex created by the 380 would definitely have been a factor. Maybe the helicopter was low on fuel and couldn't wait ? But appreciate your comment and taking time to watch 👍😊
@@speedbird0094 Air traffic doesn't work like that. They should never have cleared the A380 for take off with the helicopter approaching on a converging heading, which no doubt triggered a TCAS alert in the A380 mandating an abort.
I appreciate you comment. We could discuss this all year and we shall never really know what actually went on that day. I tried to find an incident report and failed.
@@speedbird0094 We will know what happened as there will be an official report on the incident. The helo pilot is a professional and would not simply bust his ATC clearance at a major airport and barge into the runway area without a clearance. So either he misunderstood his clearances limit, or was erroneously so cleared by ATC. Or the A380 commenced T/O without a clearance (highly unlikely in my book). I don't think you are familiar with how aviation works if you think the helo pilot appeared to everyone's surprise because he was short of fuel. Like I said, it just does not work like that, If it did, it would lead to accidents.not mere incidents. If you were a pilot, you would know that. And if you were a pilot, I would not be having to waste time explaining this basic stuff.
Wow. Calm down bro. The helicopter didn't appear out of nowhere. Its based there. Its the local police helicopter and had been on a call out for some time. I've always maintained that its only my own personal opinion that it must have been low on fuel and given emergency clearance. Yes someone maybe got in a tangle that day. Maybe ATC maybe the 380 pilot but until we see any report we shall just have our own opinions. I have never said I was an expert in these matters. I just love planes and filming them. As my channel says " the planes are the stars" and just for fun. Im just an amateur trying to spread a little joy for others that enjoy planes. Take a chill pill buddy.
Thank you for your kind words. Was tempted to shorten but decided to keep as it was till the rain came. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it 👍👍
Hi speedbird , made me laugh all these big beast and then a little private they always make me wonder if there's anyone famous on them blooming heck it was awfully busy that day
Hi Donna glad to have you on board. Amazing how one helicopter caused so much disruption. Always the little ones you have to watch out for 🤔🤣 thank you for taking time to watch 👍👍
Emirates 380 is huge! Hi, I'm a little police helicopter pilot in Birmingham. Hello; I'm a highly trained Emirates pilot from halfway around the world responsible for millions/billions $$ aircraft and many passengers.
Yes the A380 is a huge aircraft. Hi im a little plane spotter from Birmingham United Kingdom. I film aircraft movements at my local airport and is responsible for bringing you footage like this 😁
Look at that big boy GO… Crazy how something so huge and heavy can just… stay in the air- Sir 🙋♀️ - If you happen to see this, would you mind sharing what camera equipment you use ? - been subscribed to your channel for years, yet I don’t think I’ve ever asked 🧐
Seeing the A380 take off is just something else and I’ve been lucky enough to have traveled many times out and back to Manchester on Emirates & Singapore A380’s.
@@frankbing1 Hi Frank I am certain they never operated the A380 from MAN. My wife worked for SQ MAN for 17 years when they used to operate the 747-400 then it went to the B777 before the A350 took over. I do think they may have had a diversion in on a A380 though. Cheers.
@@speedbird0094 Agreed! I have expressed those same sentiments often since that plane came into existence! One Has to Marvel at the Engineering Complexity That Goes Into Getting That Beast Airborne and Back on the Ground So Safely! Thank You So Much for a Great Visual❣️❣️
i used to work up in San Bruno in the hills above SFO (San Francisco International) and the 380's came in about once an hour taking off right above us headed out to the ocean. The are truly monsters, like awe inspiring giants lurching into the sky.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately quad jet days are numbered as the twin jets take over. I will take any opportunity to film these and the 747f that come onto bhx and share. Again thank you for watching 👍✈👍
Rolls may make a good engine but their maintenance is shite. Twice now Qantas has had engines explode to Roll's substandard maintenance practices, once in Nov. 4, 2010 and another on May 20, 2017. The first was due to cross threading a stub oil pipe and the latter due to corrosion of fan blades caused by improper cleaning procedures.
I like the A380 for it's size but I will always have my first love which is the 747-4 and it's series. If you flew commercial air in the 70's and 80's you can't help but adore the 747.
When I read the title I thought I was going to see smoking brakes. Did they even have to hit the brakes here. Sounded like they just let off the throttle. I suppose the mere size of these craft make everything look slow motion.
@@RedBud315 sorry theres no tyres screeching flames etc etc but I'm afraid it is what it is and such an unusual event here. Thank you for watching an appreciate you taking time to comment. 👍✈
Don't understand why your camera follows an airplane until it lines up on the runway to take off, and then when it's taking off, you divert back to see the next plane taxiing up. The whole point of filming these things is to see the take-offs, not the planes taxiing.
I appreciate your comment and I'll try to explain. When this was filmed I'd only just got into filming. Birmingham Airport is usually a one in one out kind of airport. The 380, Qatar and Saudi planes had just returned after the pandemic so were my top priority and there was an unusual amount of ground traffic I basically didn't know where to point the camera. I would hope that if the same situation was to happen today I would handle it a bit different 👍✈👍
Huh? They showed the entire fly out of the next flight after the 380 exited the runway, they just skipped the next one takeoff because the 380 was coming back up the taxiway and it wasn't a very interesting plane that was taking off at the time. They got 3 takeoffs and 4 landings.. skipping one takeoff doesn't take anything away from the awesome takeoffs that they did get. You make it sound like they kept missing the takeoffs.. they got the good ones, especially the 380 finally getting in the air at the end!
@@speedbird0094Don't worry about it.. you got all the good shots, especially the nice long fly out of the 380 at the end! Awesome footage, job well done!
I appreciate you understanding how and what was going on here. The one plane I wished I seen take off was the Saudi at the very end but the rain was becoming heavy and I had no protection for my equipment. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
Again thank for you kind words. What I've learned is that whatever you do you carnt please everyone. I do my best and hopefully people can see some progression from my earlier videos to my later ones. 👍✈👍
I live under the flight path from Birmingham, have flown from there, but it's still amazing how busy it is. I first visited in my teens, 50 years ago, when it was still known as Elmdon, and the solitary building and flight tower were on the other side of the site. There were a handful of flights a day, we were meeting someone from Düsseldorf. Just seeing an airplane was an event back then. I saw the helicopter, thought it was a drone at first, it was so tiny. Wonder why it was there? Seems irresponsible to try to land at the airport with some many alternative landing sites
I read your comment with intrest as I also grew up and lived underneath the flightpath of bhx (by the macadown) and also watched the growth of bhx from elmdon. As I've in previous comments the noise in those days of bac1-11s vicounts etc etc was incredible and the soot too. It was the local police helicopter and is based at the Elmdon side of the airport. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks 😊
@@speedbird0094I live in B26 and often pop over the back of the airport to capture some planes, I think it's a wonderful spot and there are always so many people there, especially at the weekend!
Had my flight on an a380 (Qantas) last year from london Heathrow to Sydney. Granted, I was in premium economy, but it was one of the best flights I’ve ever taken - in fact it was just the best! I’ve never been so comfortable in my life! I’d fly premium economy on an a380 again over virgin or ba products, and even some airlines coffins, sorry I mean business class (take note BA)
Was this the same aircraft that was subject to a fire alert on July 4 at Birmingham when smoke was seen coming from the undercarriage. Is it the same day? Media photo of the July 4 incident shows the same journey to the future livery. The incident was blamed on a brake problem. Might explain the "escorted" takeoff.
With respect the police were cleared for approach and landing by ATC. ATC deemed it safe to allow the arrival and landing of the helicopter to coincide with the departing Airbus. Obviously the Airbus Captain can overrule if he thinks it’s conflicted
Well we don't know what the problem was there except to say that the operation of the A380 out of Birmingham with a full load of passengers, freight and fuel (to get to an economically viable destination like the Emirates is a marginal proposition. However I doubt that the airline didn't know this and had factored it into the take off statistics. So it's more likely that the aircraft had engine or other problems and the flight crew aborted the departure.
I think the only way we will ever know is if or when a report is made public or I'm going to see if anyone would speak to me in the airport itself (highly unlikely) but what I do like is the amount of discussion this video has created. Thanks for your input 👍✈👍

You'r an A38 pilot? Or did you just fly ON it rather than fly it?
Hey buddy! Just sat and enjoyed this fantastic video again! Great filming and catch of the aborted take off! Top marks as always! ✈️👏✈️
Thanks buddy. I throughly enjoyed watching this aborted take off a couple of times myself. Glad I was there to share this aborted take off for everyone 👍✈👍
@speedbird0094 All the drama of an aborted take off from a great view buddy! Wish I'd have filmed this aborted take off myself 🤙🏼✈️
Wow! Thanks so much for recording and posting this. It's been fascinating to watch those marvels operating. Great fun!
Thank you for your kind words. At first I wasn't going to post this thinking it was too long but a majority of people including yourself enjoyed the video. Thank-you again for watching. 👍✈👍
Woww !! How does such a heavy thing even fly ...brilliant
Amazing isn't it 👍
Regarding the Follow-Me / Ops vehicles.
Birmingham, like most airports hosting Code F (aka Code VI) operations will have trail vehicles during taxi and takeoff. The vehicles help monitor Main Landing Gear to Pavement Edge distances and turning radius, and perform real-time inspection for damaged infrastructure (lights, signage, pavement, etc.) and debris blown onto runway by jet blast. Runway inspection typically not required following landing as only A380 inboard engines have thrust reversers.
Great explanation 👌 really appreciate that. Hopefully a lot of people who watch this will read your comment. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
Thanks for that explanation 👍
Shorter runway needed for A380 than i would have imagined.Rog.. Beautifully captured.
Thank you 👍
That's a 10,000 ft runway!
It's Britain's second biggest city. BHX needs to expand but atm that's not a popular policy
@@Neil070 Agree 100 %
But, all in all I love it, this is my hobby, I thank and salute you for effort you put in and show us this wonderful experience,
Thank you for your kind words 🙏 👍👍
Good to watch even better to fly on, love the take off it feels like an eternity, best business class 😊
Hopefully one day in the not too distant future I get to go on one myself. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. Appreciated 👍✈👍
Very cool video ... Safety first, and what a neat aircraft that Journey was ...
Thank you and yes I totally agree. Safety first no matter the length of the delay. Better to get there than not. 👍✈👍
It’s thrilling to watch any aircraft but this one is especially magical.. it’s big, commanding such big space, but with an elegance once in the sky.
It seems to be a bit of a Marmite plane. You either love it or hate it. I love filming it every time I see it. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
You're standing in my spot hahaha - this is where I get all my BHX videos. Good capture
Its a cracking little spot to see over the fence etc. 👍✈👍

Incredible zoom. Difficult to accurately track with such high zoom. Nice job. Seems to me we stayed with it long enough to see even the flaps retract.
Yea the zooming exaggerates the slightest movement but I wanted to film as much as possible before the rain came. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. Appreciated 👍✈ 👍✈
Magnificent piece of engineering
Totally agree 👍 thank you for watching 👍✈👍
I have a wonderful memory of flying with my family on a Qantas B- 747-400! Tremendous!!!
Glad this video brought back those memories for you. With the 747 its quite rare at Birmingham Airport although I have posted one video of a cargo 747-400. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍
Beautiful video and what a powerful Camera, The 380 is an Amazing development in Air Technology
Thank you for your kind words and I agree about the 380. Watching it amazes me how it even gets off the ground. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍✈👍
Awesome capture! May I feature this rejected takeoff in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
I would love you to 👍👍
Beautiful A-380 take off. I enjoy watching LAX live cam. That helicopter caused a lot of disruption.
Glad you enjoyed it. Birmingham Airport is nothing like LAX but I wish I was 😁
I love LA Flights live too!
@@MsSuzie71 the show is great but the constant chatter gets on my nerves a bit. But yes a great airport with great planes 👍
I think being there was more exiting than watching the video ;-) Even so thump up :-)
Probably right tbh. But thought it deserved to be shared. Thanks for watching though. 👍✈👍
Great video! What hit my sweet spot, PILATIUS (PJ) Pilot's roll (21:25 - 23:29) that's a takeoff! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it. And yes the little planes often get ignored so I'm glad you spotted it 🙂
ONE of the best videos EVER!!!! Thank you,
So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words. One of my first attempts at filming so didn't get it all correct but comments like this make it worthwhile getting out there to capture moments like this 👍✈👍
It's simply amazing how that much weight can get into the air. I know, physics and aerodynamics but still.
Unfortunately the camera doesn't show how close this gets a Birmingham Airport. Only can I recommend seeing it real life but I'm with you on your comment. Thanks for watching 👍✈👍
I am directly under the approach path for Dulles in VA. I see the 380 fly over at 12,000 feet every day. It looks to be more like 5,000 ft due to it's size. Never fails to impress me.
It is such an impressive aircraft 👍 on a good clear day I get London bound traffic overhead but usually 20,000 ft 😫
EMIRATES? Thought they were the only ones who still fly em! took one to japan via SA... i was so thrilled.
@@gewglesux Make someone jealous. Not been on one yet but its on my to do list 👍
@@speedbird0094 I wish i paid(SQ11) for the higher end fare to get some of the amenities. I'm just glad that they're still in the air and not converted into some Cargo carrier.
Lots of carriers have got A380 out of mothballs. Have flown Emirates A380s about 8 times and their business class is great. Fold flat seat that's wide enough to turn over in. The side seats are staggered at an angle, so no legs to climb over when getting to the Loo. The bar at the rear for drinks and snacks, love the plane. Sadly, the leg from Saigon to Dubia is on a B777 nice but not great.@@gewglesux
Amazing video i enjoyed watching fully, thanks for making this video. By the way i flew on A380 emirates aircraft on 19th nov 2023, to Dubai from India Bangalore. It's an amazing aircraft
So glad you enjoyed the video. Did wonder at the time of posting whether it was too long. Hopefully one day I get to experience a flight on a 380 👍👍

Fabulous video. Thank you. Incredible aircraft.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words. If your interested i have a playlist dedicated to all the A380 videos I have posted from Birmingham Airport. 👍✈👍
@speedbird0094 I'll check it out. I remember being at Birmingham airport in the 70s watching aeroplanes.....and we didn't see any I seem to remember! What a difference now. My Dad took us to Ringway Manchester, too. That dates me lol.
@@npr1300A8 so glad my video has contributed to you sharing your memories with us. I too have memories as a kid of the planes from the late 70s. Them days we would watch over the small wooden picket fence or the viewing area. Seeing Bac1's Viscounts the fellowships tristars and 727s etc. Great times 👍✈👍
@speedbird0094 I always dreamt that I'd go on the 747 after seeing one at Manchester Ringway, and in 2005, my dream came true! My late wife, daughter and I were lucky enough to go to Florida for our holiday that year. Wow, what a beautiful aeroplane inside! I have video on my channel of the take-off at Manchester and our excitement is obvious!
Would you mind sending a replied link to your video please 👍
Flown the A380 on Thai air , Emirates and Qatar. Amazing aeroplane, smooth, spacious and comfortable.
Know how to make me jealous. Definitely on my to do list though 👍
What is the price you are willing to pay extra, for this comfort?
5$
10$
15$
20$
Just thinking and ratifying
price/comfort, then we write to the airlines and tell them.
That will bring this beautiful plane flying again, longer, bigger and quiet
Bigger longer wider and higher, were all part of initial ideas.
Make green plane fly's slower, and give's us a modern Zeppelin.
me too and Singapore
Another A380 pilot! Or did you just fly on, down the back, rather than FLY it?
Wow, not much thundering down the runway. I was surprised how quickly it was airborne.
As someone said before. "Thats physics" 👍
it had a cross wind to handle as well @@speedbird0094
Wow excellent sooooper take off
Appreciated all the best
Thank you so much for your kind words and im glad you enjoyed the video 👍✈👍
What a gorgeous bird!! What's not to love?! 😻😻😻
Yes a stunning plane. Especially close up 👍
Incroyable les quantités de carburant qui se consomment juste avant de prendre son envol!
Assez pour faire tourner ma voiture pendant quelques années 🤣
Grazie per il bel video e porgo i miei più cordiali saluti a "Speedbird 009" - Luciano il perugino (Italia) 😀🍀🍀🍀
Thank you for your kind words 👍👍 glad you enjoyed the video
Would a helicopter really create that much wind vortex for the mighty A380? Great video btw.
No the other way around. The 380 would have taken off just before the police helicopter. The only thing I could think off it was so low on fuel it had to take priority. Appreciate you watching and your kind words 👍✈👍
@@speedbird0094 If the helo had been a flight emergency the A380 would have been held until the helo had landed. What happened here was either an ATC screw-up or the helo pilot exceeding his ATC clearance limit and getting too close to the A380. The A380 in any case will generate no wake vortex until airborne, which would have been well beyond the helo.
I appreciate your thoughts here but the real answer is we shall never really know. I carry a radio now and I'd only just started filming when this incident took place. Its provoked all kinds of comments and to think I thought this video was too long to put up at the time.
Love flying in this big bird to Dubai such luxury go often to see family love being able to have a shower before landing and you feel so fresh service is wonderful.
Really know how to make me jealous. Maybe one day for me. Glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back memories for you. Thanks for watching 👍✈👍
They have removed the showers from the fleet.
@@maxflight777 probably to save a bit of weight or to get more seats in possibly? 👍✈👍
Have flown Emirates regularly to Dubai since 2005 when they first started operating the 380. Usually 1sr class. The difference now to then is tremendous. You basically get your own room and amenities including showers are available.
You know how to make me jealous 😏 maybe one day for me. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 👍✈👍
Surprised a helicopter nearby stopped this departure. Even more surprised at how close those marshalling cars got to the A380!
There has been a few comments about the cars. But every arrival and departure ive seen they have been there. The wind vortex created by the 380 would definitely have been a factor. Maybe the helicopter was low on fuel and couldn't wait ? But appreciate your comment and taking time to watch 👍😊
@@speedbird0094 Air traffic doesn't work like that. They should never have cleared the A380 for take off with the helicopter approaching on a converging heading, which no doubt triggered a TCAS alert in the A380 mandating an abort.
I appreciate you comment. We could discuss this all year and we shall never really know what actually went on that day. I tried to find an incident report and failed.
@@speedbird0094 We will know what happened as there will be an official report on the incident. The helo pilot is a professional and would not simply bust his ATC clearance at a major airport and barge into the runway area without a clearance.
So either he misunderstood his clearances limit, or was erroneously so cleared by ATC.
Or the A380 commenced T/O without a clearance (highly unlikely in my book).
I don't think you are familiar with how aviation works if you think the helo pilot appeared to everyone's surprise because he was short of fuel. Like I said, it just does not work like that, If it did, it would lead to accidents.not mere incidents. If you were a pilot, you would know that.
And if you were a pilot, I would not be having to waste time explaining this basic stuff.
Wow. Calm down bro. The helicopter didn't appear out of nowhere. Its based there. Its the local police helicopter and had been on a call out for some time. I've always maintained that its only my own personal opinion that it must have been low on fuel and given emergency clearance. Yes someone maybe got in a tangle that day. Maybe ATC maybe the 380 pilot but until we see any report we shall just have our own opinions. I have never said I was an expert in these matters. I just love planes and filming them. As my channel says " the planes are the stars" and just for fun. Im just an amateur trying to spread a little joy for others that enjoy planes. Take a chill pill buddy.
Phenomenal! You made my day. Thanks so much! ❤

SQ don't operate the A380 to MAN they operate the A350.
@@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214 yes your right but they did do for a short while some years ago and yes I’ve also been on the SQ A350 from Manchester.
@@frankbing1 Hi Frank I am certain they never operated the A380 from MAN. My wife worked for SQ MAN for 17 years when they used to operate the 747-400 then it went to the B777 before the A350 took over. I do think they may have had a diversion in on a A380 though. Cheers.
Certainly look good on those Emirates Ads!

@@speedbird0094 lol,
i used to work up in San Bruno in the hills above SFO (San Francisco International) and the 380's came in about once an hour taking off right above us headed out to the ocean. The are truly monsters, like awe inspiring giants lurching into the sky.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately quad jet days are numbered as the twin jets take over. I will take any opportunity to film these and the 747f that come onto bhx and share. Again thank you for watching 👍✈👍
Stunning plane is the A380 especially when fitted with the Rolls engine
The sound is incredible. 👍
Rolls Royce Trent 900
Rolls may make a good engine but their maintenance is shite. Twice now Qantas has had engines explode to Roll's substandard maintenance practices, once in Nov. 4, 2010 and another on May 20, 2017. The first was due to cross threading a stub oil pipe and the latter due to corrosion of fan blades caused by improper cleaning procedures.

Lucky the abort was so early in the takeoff roll
Yes I agree as once that gets moving I imagine its quite hard to stop. Thank you for watching 👍
When I read the title I thought I was going to see smoking brakes. Did they even have to hit the brakes here. Sounded like they just let off the throttle. I suppose the mere size of these craft make everything look slow motion.
@@RedBud315 sorry theres no tyres screeching flames etc etc but I'm afraid it is what it is and such an unusual event here. Thank you for watching an appreciate you taking time to comment. 👍✈

I doubt the turbulence from that light helicopter would have been noticeable. Much less be of any consequence due to the existing winds.

@@speedbird0094 The flag depicted is that of Indonesia, the text does translate in that language.
@@roboftherock thanks for the explanation 👍
Don't understand why your camera follows an airplane until it lines up on the runway to take off, and then when it's taking off, you divert back to see the next plane taxiing up. The whole point of filming these things is to see the take-offs, not the planes taxiing.
I appreciate your comment and I'll try to explain. When this was filmed I'd only just got into filming. Birmingham Airport is usually a one in one out kind of airport. The 380, Qatar and Saudi planes had just returned after the pandemic so were my top priority and there was an unusual amount of ground traffic I basically didn't know where to point the camera. I would hope that if the same situation was to happen today I would handle it a bit different 👍✈👍
Huh? They showed the entire fly out of the next flight after the 380 exited the runway, they just skipped the next one takeoff because the 380 was coming back up the taxiway and it wasn't a very interesting plane that was taking off at the time. They got 3 takeoffs and 4 landings.. skipping one takeoff doesn't take anything away from the awesome takeoffs that they did get.
You make it sound like they kept missing the takeoffs.. they got the good ones, especially the 380 finally getting in the air at the end!
@@speedbird0094Don't worry about it.. you got all the good shots, especially the nice long fly out of the 380 at the end! Awesome footage, job well done!
I appreciate you understanding how and what was going on here. The one plane I wished I seen take off was the Saudi at the very end but the rain was becoming heavy and I had no protection for my equipment. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 👍✈👍

Its a stunning aircraft to see up close. Amazing how it gets off the ground really. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Appreciated. 👍✈👍
I live under the flight path from Birmingham, have flown from there, but it's still amazing how busy it is.
I first visited in my teens, 50 years ago, when it was still known as Elmdon, and the solitary building and flight tower were on the other side of the site. There were a handful of flights a day, we were meeting someone from Düsseldorf. Just seeing an airplane was an event back then.
I saw the helicopter, thought it was a drone at first, it was so tiny. Wonder why it was there? Seems irresponsible to try to land at the airport with some many alternative landing sites
I read your comment with intrest as I also grew up and lived underneath the flightpath of bhx (by the macadown) and also watched the growth of bhx from elmdon. As I've in previous comments the noise in those days of bac1-11s vicounts etc etc was incredible and the soot too. It was the local police helicopter and is based at the Elmdon side of the airport. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks 😊
@@speedbird0094I live in B26 and often pop over the back of the airport to capture some planes, I think it's a wonderful spot and there are always so many people there, especially at the weekend!

Had my flight on an a380 (Qantas) last year from london Heathrow to Sydney. Granted, I was in premium economy, but it was one of the best flights I’ve ever taken - in fact it was just the best! I’ve never been so comfortable in my life! I’d fly premium economy on an a380 again over virgin or ba products, and even some airlines coffins, sorry I mean business class (take note BA)

Very very impression 😮💞💞💞
So glad you enjoyed my video Larou 👍✈👍
Was this the same aircraft that was subject to a fire alert on July 4 at Birmingham when smoke was seen coming from the undercarriage. Is it the same day? Media photo of the July 4 incident shows the same journey to the future livery. The incident was blamed on a brake problem. Might explain the "escorted" takeoff.
Yes it was well spotted 👍
Excellent images. Very good stabilization and great zoom. If you don't mind, could you tell us what filming equipment you used?
I use a Panasonic camcorder. I would say buy the one with the highest optical zoom you can afford 👍
Great visual on the wing deflection of the Qatar jet.
I flew on a dreamliner in July and oh my they don't half bend. Thanks for watching my video 👍✈👍
It's amazing how quickly they get air speed for takeoff. Local police need to be more aware of their surroundings.
Local police are a law unto themselves 🤣 thanks for watching 👍
With respect the police were cleared for approach and landing by ATC. ATC deemed it safe to allow the arrival and landing of the helicopter to coincide with the departing Airbus. Obviously the Airbus Captain can overrule if he thinks it’s conflicted
Well we don't know what the problem was there except to say that the operation of the A380 out of Birmingham with a full load of passengers, freight and fuel (to get to an economically viable destination like the Emirates is a marginal proposition. However I doubt that the airline didn't know this and had factored it into the take off statistics. So it's more likely that the aircraft had engine or other problems and the flight crew aborted the departure.
I think the only way we will ever know is if or when a report is made public or I'm going to see if anyone would speak to me in the airport itself (highly unlikely) but what I do like is the amount of discussion this video has created. Thanks for your input 👍✈👍
It’s nice to see A380 back in service at Birmingham Airport 😊
Yes. Great for the airport and especially the crowds that go to see it 👍
Good comment on the taxiing
You saying you own comment is good 🤔
Amazing that this even gets off the ground absolutely amazing engineering wow
Couldn't agree more 👍
