My first flight back to @manairport was always going to be a fantastic day, but I must give a huge shout out to @Supersi1 who put up with the โgloriousโ British weather ๐ง to capture this incredible shot the moment our wheels touched down!
On Saturday night I popped down to @manairport in the pouring rain to capture @emirates second evening @AirbusintheUK A380 flight arrive, and the bonus was that one of the nicest guys in aviation @ward_jr was bringing her in!! #Emirates #A380 #Airbus #ManchesterAirport #EGCC
