Miami, Florida 10th June 2011: June 10th marked a milestone in the ongoing aviation history of Miami International Airport and the Miami aviation industry with the arrival of Lufthansa flight (LH 462) thus marking the first arrival ever of an Airbus A-380 to land at the airport.
The local aviation community of friends and colleagues or as we jokingly say (the usual suspects) were invited by Captain Vito La Forgia to enjoy the tremendous vantage view from his office terrace of the airport to view the arrival of D-AIMD. It was a delightful afternoon of friends, colleagues and aviation, as they all witness the arrival of the huge transport.
Leading the way into the airport was the Eastern Airlines DC-7B from the Historical Flight Foundation (HFF) representing the past and the A-380 following soon after representing the future of commercial air transport.
It should be noted that the arrival of the DC-7B marked the first time in over 40 years that a full passenger equipped and certified DC-7B has landed at Miami International Airport as well.
