Air Docking at its best -- worth watching this

…Just sharing...

This is an incredible video of a German Airbus landing at SFO. The approach shows wonderful and memorable views of the GG Bridge, the Presidio, the Bay Bridge, and the approach to SFO. You will enjoy this aviation video.

A380 first landing at SFO

The pilots sit away from everything, no yoke, etc. Captain pulls up a keyboard once in a while to enter info but the plane does most of the work.....

The humongous A380 makes its first landing at San Francisco airport. It seems extensively automated. The air traffic controller gives them heading, altitude and speed, and they dial it in. Pretty interesting.

For best results go "full screen" on your monitor. It will seem like you are in the cockpit.

The Control tower repeatedly refers to the A380 as the "Super 80"… 🙂
