Just heard the A380 is coming to Perth on the 14th of Oct.

ETA 0800, ETD 1300.

Channel 9 news showed the christening of the QF A380 by 92 yr old Nancy Bird Walton and then she was taken of a joy flight in the cockpit. jj

There is a sign saying that access will be restricted on Oct 14 on the road which goes past where the Toll planes park (domestic side, near gate 4). So I'm guessing that that's where the A380 will be parked.

Will be parked in Bays 60 and 61 on the INTL side, Viewing Deck will be closed, i start work on the tarmac on the 13th hehe

Make that parked at Bay 50, not 60/61 as mentioned above

here are some image overviews

Thanks for the update - much appreciated!

If you not there by 6am it will be crowded, turn left off Horrie Miller drve at roundabout that leads to Menzies Air cargo and then turn right at T road, and park along there some where, go to the BBQ and Playground area is a public area, trying to turn left to gate 1 entrance may be restricted? jj

i start work at 9am, so i might come down around 8ish

Please note guys that gate 1 is our emergency assembly area, should the need arise, both air side and land side.

Gate one is not manned like gate 4, however it is frequently used, the inter terminal buss transfers ect, there is also alot of construction going along just south of the grassed area, and as a result that Google earth picture may be too old.

Seeing A011912 starts work airside the day before 13th, , he should knock off one of those little buses and takes us airside and do a few donuts around the A380 so we get a good look see and pics,,lol jj

Any ideas on the best way to listen to ATIS other than a radio? Up my way I can't get a strong enough signal and need to prepare before leaving Tue morning as to which runway will be in use.

http://audio.liveatc.net:8012/ypph lists a bunch of info but I can't get the runway info?

I'll be the bookie, got a $5 that the A380 will be 15mins late
