Yes at Seeb last January. Emirates use them on long haul flights.
No big deal to be honest it's only about 3 metres longer than a 747.

Yeah flew past couple of times at Portrush Airshow - unbelieveable how slow and low it can go at the size of it!!!! Nice to see it though cant beat the show the red arrows puts on!

Longer, taller, wider, bigger wing span, heavier, more powerful, quieter, more fuel efficient, can carry more passengers, flys higher and further . Made in Britain & Europe!

Yep no big deal!!!

I saw it at Farnborough Air show 2006. It was flying in an out of clouds around the air field, like a real bird... pretty agile.

it flew right over my house. thought, what kind of plane is making that kind of noise! looked out my window and got a bit of a fright! pretty impressive though

I saw it whilst out recycling and almost had an 'accident' ! The way the engines were straining as it turned over Edinburgh to head (apparently) North, I thought we were in for an epic disaster. Awesome sight though, we don't get the biggest 'planes in Edinburgh as I don't think the airport is equipped for them, so most impressive, especially at low altitude.

I saw it driving along granton road on my way to work. It is huge. I described it to my boyfriend as "like something out of a film, like when you see UFO's covering the sky, thats exactly what it was like"

My boyfriends dad's best friend is flying to dubai on Monday onboard one. Really impressive.
