Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 That was kewl~! I've driven those roads and bridges thousands of times and flown into SFO a bunch - usually in a 747 or 737. Always had to watch out the li'l porthole window; the forward view was fun!

Candlestick came down in 2015. Video was posted in 2013. So, we know it was before that. Hmmm.....they have a special little welcome with the fire rigs giving the plane a shower....must be a special occasion....maybe some company's first A380 into SFO? The first commercial Lufthansa A380 flight landed in San Francisco complete with its two floors of up to 526 passengers and first class tickets that could cost $16,000. SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT--With the arrival Tuesday of Lufthansa flight 454 from Frankfurt, Germany, the airline became the first to fly daily service of Airbus' giant A380 to SFO.
