Nice effect of the colors on the A380, but they somewhat ruin the appearance of the Qantas logo on the tail. Still, a great night shot!

For one second i thought quantas went mad.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu May 14, 2009:
Is this a disco version of A-280 ? :)

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 9, 2009:

Yeah the hyphen is in the wrong spot...weird!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri September 26, 2008:
WOW for a minute I thought Qantas had gone completely mad (well, madder than usual) and dreamt up yet another bizarre paint job!

Keep up the flash work, Aussies!

A visitor from France posted Fri September 26, 2008:
Airbus.......the best

A visitor from Netherlands posted Fri September 26, 2008:
For a second i thought this was the worst looking special livery there is, i did think about the peter max for a second but fortunately those are only the moving heads lights.

A visitor from South Africa posted Fri September 26, 2008:
It's a psychedelic A380! Austin Powers, here we come!

A visitor from United States posted Fri September 26, 2008:
Anyone else think of peter max when they saw this?

A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Fri September 26, 2008:
Amazing colors

A visitor from Hong Kong posted Fri September 26, 2008:
Very sharp and the image is very real.

A visitor from Portugal posted Thu September 25, 2008:
Beautiful standing bird

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 25, 2008:
I work for the mfg of the lighting used on this A380. Never thought I'd see our stuff in an Airliners.net photo. Excellent!

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 25, 2008:
"a thousand colors" over state much?

A visitor from Spain posted Thu September 25, 2008:
The hypen in the name is wrongly placed, isn't it?
Nice photo anyway :)

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu September 25, 2008:
They should paint all Qantas A380s with these colours and shapes. Would be great to see it like that all the time!

A visitor from - posted Thu September 25, 2008:
And NOW I'm very glad to know this aircraft is WHITE :) By the way, A380 looks small in the photo!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 25, 2008:
I'm not the head of the A380 fanclub, but this is one hell of a sighting!

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 25, 2008:
Its just the lights that makes it looks like that, its not lively

A visitor from - posted Thu September 25, 2008:
Haha. I love this picture.
Thanks for capturing this great moment. A new page of history for QANTAS!
I originally thought this was a new livery on the thumbnail. XD

A visitor from - posted Thu September 25, 2008:
The "ugly" bird has something of a turtle with lipstick.

A visitor from Czech Republic posted Thu September 25, 2008:
Great aircraft, great colors. I love it.

A visitor from United States posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Hey This just gave me an IDEA!! Flash ad's up on 380's while they are parked at the gate! This one could be for the new austin powers movie....

A visitor from Australia posted Wed September 24, 2008:
The guys who spent so much time slightly stylizing the livery should take note of how purteh this bird looks under those lights :P...

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed September 24, 2008:
A livery like this would push back the delivery date substantially I imagine:). Looks very nice though and Qantas has been known for the odd exotic paintjob..

A visitor from United States posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Fully agree - A380 is one of a hell ugly aircraft. But this game of lights makes it looking good. Nice shot.

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Congratulations, Qantas, the great australian airline, a new era has begun ! Good luck !

A visitor from - posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Groovy livery, man! Groovy!

Even groovier if it is actually painted on the plane!

A visitor from Australia posted Wed September 24, 2008:
WOW! Thats amazing - I hope we see a QF A380 like that one day!

A visitor from Denmark posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Groovy!

A visitor from United States posted Wed September 24, 2008:
You got me... I thought it was Tye-Dye day at TLS!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed September 24, 2008:
I absolutely love this picture, not only is this now my desktop image but i'm also making the background for my mobile phone also, so having said that I want to rate it 5x2 stars lol that 10 Starts. Its this type of photo that ensure the first thing I do of a morning after emails is come online to see the new uploads

A visitor from - posted Wed September 24, 2008:
That would make such a beautiful and stunning livery!

A visitor from Canada posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Great lighting to an amazing aircraft!

Can someone say, future livery please?

A visitor from - posted Wed September 24, 2008:
And for a moment I thought it was painted a la Wunala! So far this is probably the only livery that makes an A380 look good in my eyes.

A visitor from Italy posted Wed September 24, 2008:
Holy s**t I almost had an heart attack. But the pic is very nice.
