New Airbus Pictures fron the air.

I was flying into Van Nuys this morning IFR when ATC told us to look 11:00
and we should be able to see the new Airbus's making its first Flight into
LAX. I took a few pictures.

previous models!

On previous models, the stabilizer was much weaker than the rest of the
aircraft. Now the entire aircraft has been weakened so that it all fails as a
single unit in a coherent way. If anything, the under-strength wings will go
first.

Any references? Really, you think they weakened the whole thing, that makes
way more sense than putting additional spars in the VS. Or maybe, just
maybe, they strengthened the vertical stabilizer in an effort to not repeat
the past. But hey you're a idiot so who knows how you think.

Or the Martians did it.

Actually, I think the misengineered the wing, making it too weak. Who knows
what else they messed up?

Even ATC fell under the spell? Photo ops first, safety second. Or was
"traffic a factor" legitimately in this case? (Seems unlikely if you were
descending into VNY and the Scarebus was descending into LAX, unless that wake
turbulence is even worse than they've been saying.)

what that heck are you talking about... safety... photo ops?

Anyone can safely fly 1000ft above a heavy.. or in ATC approach airspace..
IFR.. 3 miles lateral.

But it does look a lot closer than the 7 miles mentioned on the web page.

Zoomed all the way in. I wish I would have had my Nikon D100 with the
telephoto lenses. I just had a cannon 710 in my flight bag. It was exciting
for what ever reason. How many happen to be flying and get to see a new
plane descend down through the clouds. Anyone can see it go up through them.
