At long last, after much serious production delays, the A380 departs for its first ever commercial flight, SQ380, from Singapore to Sydney. Onboard the flight are lucky bidders who have managed to secure seats in an online charity auction. It's wonderful to be able to witness this important milestone in aviation history! Many thanks to Kai Hong for the edit. Photo also seen on cover page of Airliners magazine, Jan/Feb 2008 issue.
