British Airways Begins Daily A380 Service to Boston Logan - Windy Whale Makes Beantown Debut

British Airways has served Logan with 777s, 747s, and 787s, but today was the first day scheduled A380 service started, with "Speedbird 213 Super" doing the honors. Go to 8:55 for the touchdown, this is shaky, someone forgot their tripod, better images for the taxi portion.
