It was surprisingly quiet compared to other widebodies. It's as big as advertised. Saw the A380 take-off at just after 12 noon Monday from worksite adjacent Dulles.

Amazing, beautiful and more spacious than you might think. Even better was the view of the fly-by it did for those of us watching from the observation tower at the Air and Space Museum at Dulles. There was a large crowd of the public there, so it must not have been too hard to find info. Saw the A380 up close and personal on an employee tour early this morning at Dulles.

The time for take off seems to be in sync with the previous schedule. The 380 Just took off and looks like it headed Northwest. The time for take off seems to be in sync with the previous schedule.

Unfortunately, that schedule is no longer correct (at least per my calls to IAD). Both the arrival and departure times were changed. There will NOT be a 4:20p departure today. Thanks, Steven.

From the Metro Washington Airports site: "A demonstration flight is scheduled for Monday, March 26 between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. However, the organizers of this event have not made arrangements for the general public to view the aircraft. Public areas of the airport do not offer a good view of the A380 when it is parked on the airfield. Views of the take-off and landing of the demonstration flight from public areas of the airport are also limited due to the configuration of the airfield."
