It's not very often that you get to see whales this far inland, but my whale watching paid off yesterday. I saw one! It came floating over my head, singing it's distinctive song. It smelt a lot like jet kerosene... Um, this whale was a little different than you're thinking... it was flying. To be exact, it was an Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger whale plane.
In simple words, I went plane spotting yesterday and had a wonderfully introverted day. There were a couple of surprises, mostly good ones. The prime spotting location was unusable because the adjacent runway was shut down. So we found a less ideal location, and were treated to all takeoffs and landings (a great many) because of it! Another bonus was an Hainan Airlines A340-600, all the way from China. And, of course, Emirates' A380!
