I missed finding a decent place to park in time to get a good view. I had a false alarm when the UA 747 (mentioned previously) landed about 4 mins before the A380. I was able to see the plane pass over the parking lot areas east of Sepulveda and noticed it didn't seem "that" big. Sounded unique (engines) compared to other aircraft and thought it was supposed to be quieter than most aircraft?!?
As far as the landing, I saw on TV a much better view. I noticed the slight swerve of the aircraft when landing and several twitches of the tailfin. A friend said WOW that's a crazy landing, I wasn't going to say anything until they made that comment and now I see
alect making that observation.
