Prepar3D v4.5 | Air France Airbus A380 landing in LAX

Hi folks,
The title says it all really. As most of you will probably know, Air France have retired their entire fleet of A380s with immediate effect. I was lucky enough to travel on F-HPJA when she first entered service in 2009, and Air France operated the type between LHR and CDG for a short time in order to familiarise their crews and pilots. This also gave the airports a chance to get used to handling the huge size of the aircraft, before the long haul routes were in full swing. The flight was an incredible experience, and I was amazed by how smooth and quiet it was. The landing in CDG was a little bit bumpy and I could tell the pilots were still getting used to its huge size!
Anyway it's a very sad time for aviation enthusiasts, pilots and passengers alike - the aircraft was incredibly popular with everyone except the accountants, and sadly it has been sidelined by more efficient twin engined jets such as the A350 and 787.
I made this video just as a short tribute really - LAX is probably the best airport in the world to see A380s, as all the operators of the type fly it there. It was the staple route for the Air France super jumbo, and here we see F-HPJA making her final approach to runway 24R in the midday spring sunshine.
Hope you enjoy the video, and as always please feel free to like, share, comment and subscribe!
