Hey guys sos 2 hear dat u cant make it dere but i heard it comin 12pm and landing on da southern runway den it will make its way to the new Terminal 3 Pier 6 Stand. Luckily i got study leave so i get to go!

Will A380 come to Málaga, Spain? Or has it already?

I don't think it has been there and doubt it ever will unfortunately. The runways probably too thin among other things. 😉

sweet do you guys know that the A-380 is at the Berlin Air Show?
