Telstar Logistics has just contacted us with the news that an Airbus A380, the largest passenger airliner in the world, will be flying over downtown San Francisco tomorrow afternoon (October 5th). Earlier today Telstar Logistics took a tour of this Airbus A380, the first ever to land at SFO. Here’s the photo gallery from the tour.

ATTENTION BAY AREA PHOTOGRAPHERS!

Telstar Logistics has learned that the A380 will do a low and slow flyby over the City of San Francisco on Friday, October 5, between 2:30 and 3 pm, just before the Blue Angels begin their practice flight at 3 o’clock. We’re told that the A380 will approach via the Golden Gate Bridge before making an arc over Alcatraz and flying past downtown and the Bay Bridge.

UPDATE: Jason DeFillippo has posted some photos of the Airbus A380 fly over on Metroblogging San Francisco.
