Here are some pictures of the Airbus 380 in Malaysia Airlines colour scheme performing an impressive display at Farnborough Air Show 2012.

The type of maneuvers, the moisty weather and the low cloud base helped creating some nice condensation clouds, similar to those generated by the fast jet fighters.

It’s such a beautiful plane. I am in awe every time I see it. I am really sad I did not make it to Farnborough. Thanks for putting these shots up.
