Flying High, of sorts...

That's makes today's A380 landing the fourth in a series of wowzers from the skies. I saw the space shuttle Enterprise fly over my house when I was about 11 years old. It was on a ''good will'' trip around the world (today, we would refer to it as a global marketing strategy). The bloody thing was strapped to a Boeing 747 and it flew above us, roaring away...the other kids and I were just slack-jawed with admiration and wonder.
The following summer saw a set of three CF-18 Hornets in formation fly over us in the afternoon sun, probably on their way to Trenton AFB. They flew with a sound and speed I have not experienced since (except in movies but that don't count!).
The third was a weird one...I was on vacation in Gaspé, I think I was 22 back then and witnessed a flight formation of 4 black army helicopters flying low and following the coastline (yeah, yeah...I heard about of the ''conspiracy''). All I know about that event is this...they were indeed helicopters, they numbered four, they were painted black and they flew low...got it. It was still pretty damn cool to see a squadron of choppers whiz by. Now I can add today's Airbus gig to that not very exhausting list! It's always impressive though when you witness something out of the ordinary.

Cheers! Go out there and have fun!
