You must have seen

could be St. Maarten at Maho Beach. Often shown on TV how the tourist there enjoy the landings, not from that perspective. And the landing strip is not visible. So…i guess not.

there is something to find…but it seems to be a fake

No it is definitely NOT a fake. Look carefully and you can see it is real… if you know what you are looking for.

Definitely not Sint Maarten. My guess would be somewhere in Asia…

Does look real to me. Just a standard low-vis landing…

It should be Airbus A380. British Airways uses it only as a passenger aircraft, like almost everyone else. No A380 was ever built as a cargo plane. The one in the video doesn’t have any windows, though. And it looks like the landing flaps are not extended.

Flaps (Yellow) and Slats (Blue) are clearly extended and the windows are hidden by the fog.

The A380 -800 has very big and massive wings as they were planned to be used for up to two potential stretches as well as for the much heavier cargo variant. (-900 and -1000 and the freighter which would have been between the -800 and -900)
This is one of the reasons why the “little” -800 (The only variant made) is so ineffecient with fuel as the wing section of the fuselage is just way too heavy. And also the reason why this aircraft is so popular with passengers as the massive wing is not bothered much by turbulence at all.

With the massive wings the flaps extended are not as noticeable as with other aircraft.

I would say, this is at Heathrow.

So this should also be Heathrow (from original utube post)

But aren’t there palm trees in the original video? At the beginning…

Yes, and it comes from left and there are windows at the other videos visible. And cars driving on right side.
Landing areas just look so smilar and streets also and there are streets near every airport.
So these airports actually left for British Airways A 380.


Johannesburg (JNB) (cars drive left)
Miami (MIA)
Los Angeles (LAX)
San Francisco (SFO)
Boston (BOS)
Washington (IAD)
Dubai (DXB)
Singapur (SIN) (cars drive left)

In the youtube video the fog is less dense…

But the windows still hidden by the fog. And the doors. But ‘airways’ good readable. Just the S at the end… :thinking:

The upper windows won’t be visible from this view. And the lower ones can well be hidden or not visible as the camera can’t cope with such small objects as windows in fog.

cup of tea while youre at it ladies?
