The Airbus A380 mega-airliner frequently takes off and lands at Toulouse : it is final-assembled near-by in a huge plant. All of the neighborhood inhabitants feel like they are taking part of the airplane fate.

It therefore routinely flies over Montlaur that is located about 30 km from the Toulouse-Blagnac airfield. That is 20 km South-East of Toulouse.

The Ramplou's family has built colorful decorations and lighting in the garden of their house in Montlaur as they do to celebrate every Christmas and New Year's season.

A mock-up of the huge Airship is proudly presented in a large private hangar near the house. As in reality but statically, it flies over the blue water of the Lac de la Ganguise and over the small villages that are nested on the hilltops of Lauragais...

I have asked Pierre Ramplou to let me shoot a photographic souvenir at the occasion of the "Wrinkle in time" 10th anniversary tribute and he has warmly greeted me on the night of the winter solstice in this sanctuary of Aviation.

I hope you shall enjoy this nice VR aeronautics and domestic show...

L'A380 va attrerrir où il est né
