Fantastic! About time she arrived, but better late than never.

A truly amazing day...it ushers in when both giants and medium size aircrafts will not compete but rather fullfill airliners goal off connecting cities and countries all over. rochester, ny -zoe

Wow! New era has begun! Hope to travel that babe soon!!

Look at that great color scheme. Congrats to SA for their first A380. T.B.

The long-awaited airliner will soon be flying with the world`s best airline. Congratulations to all the people involved to achieve this task..! Luis Enrique Oliveros/Venezuela

A truly great day for Aviation. Glad to see Airliners.net has documented this for the ages.

Beautiful contrast with the dark skies & the ground crew. The A380 looks great in that scheme! Can't wait to see that bird in the US. 5*

I think Singapore Airlines is very happy to see this new giant! Simply Superb Picture Andrew!!!

Andrew...You, Singapore Airlines and Singapore Changi go a long way, and it's wonderful you were there to picture the first SQ A380 being delivered...We hope to see more pics from you of the Singapore A380!!

Soon to be a fimiliar sight! looking forward to it indefinitley

Amazing plane,Amazing airline.. Small country Big airline. congratulation's Singapore airlines and Airbus for this mighty plane!

Lucky those passengers who will be the first to make a commercial flight on this giant!

I love SIA! I cannot believe that it is the first airliner in the world to have the A380 when i heard it.

Rule Airbus, rule ! Hope to see it soon in AF colors flying over my head.

What a historical moment! We'll probably never see a larger aircraft than the A380 mass produced in rest of our lives.

The SIA livery looks good on almost every single airplane. The A380 especially!

Fantastic airplane. Congratulations for this historic picture.

A very grat shot wich represent the huge aircraft very good well done

I bet that on the first flight will be full of press people

Here we go, a new chapter in aviation just started!

Simply stunning - many many congratulations to Airbus and SQ for pioneering a new era in civil aviation.

At first when I saw the picture, I wondered where it was taken. Then I saw the dark clouds and those cranes, and at once knew where it was-Singapore WSSS! And yeah, the location matched...wow. Notice where its parked...ahead of A300(?) and behind A340-600's parking lines. Nice to see her. Thanks Andrew.

Historic picture, great!

I always have an erge to click on thumbnails of pics like this and to my suprise, quite a lot of them have been taken by Andrew. All of which are the best i've seen here

Great to see the fisr pic of commercial A380!!!

I am in love with the A380. Great catch. Someone take a pic of the bird with people on a) the wings and b)next to the engines to get a better idea of this bird's massive size.

Good job at including the entire grand beauty while illustrating the comparative size to humans.

A crucial moment for this spectacular commercial aircraft.

More than a decade later, it still looks nice, livery and aircraft just fit together. Sadly he, 9V-SKA, is dead. The new pictures are so sad.
