Beautiful postcard of the A380 face to face with a child while performing the approach maneuver to El Prat airport by Gavà beach, in the Baix Llobregat.
It is the plane preferred by boys and girls, as well as adults. The child in this photograph that we see in La Vanguardia's Photos of Readers appears spreading his arms as if they were the wings of this giant who is the king of the sky.
This passenger plane is, to date, the largest in the world. It is the device with the highest passenger capacity that operates regularly in El Prat.
The A380 is the first jet aircraft with two decks along its entire fuselage, unlike the Boeing 747, which, although it also has two, the upper deck covers only the front part of the fuselage. This aircraft has a maximum capacity of 853 passengers in a high-density economy class configuration.
Spotting is the observation and recording of aircraft. It is a practice so popular among photography lovers that they are called spotters. And, the El Prat de Llobregat airport is one of the best in the world for photographing airplanes.
