Spotting at the Dulles International Terminal

Real World Aviation Spotting
#1

These pictures were taken by my mom back in 2019 by my mom during a connection she had in Washington Dulles Airport. These are a mix of both taken from the airplane and the terminal gate area.

Let’s start out small and get bigger along the way with this Avianca Airbus A320 at gate B50. (Taken from the airplane)

Last but not least is the Airbus A380 from Air France that is getting ready to head off to the city of Paris France. (Picture 1. Taken from the airplane. Picture 2. Taken from the gate.)

Love those shots! Have to ask, why the tail of that A380 (Air France) turned a bit to the left? Noticed that almost in every parked aircraft.

It was pretty cool to see a plane that big. Pictures do no show the true size of the plane.
