Largest passenger plane on earth




                            Largest passenger plane on Earth


      Since my last post was about planes I decided to write another post about planes.
      Which is the largest plane on Earth? It's the Airbus 380
      What is its capacity? The maximum is 519 people.
      How fast can it go? It can go up to 945 km/h, 587mph at cruise altitude 1020 km/h, 634mph.
      But it doesn't Fly to remote islands.

Flying on a small plane around Tenerife



              Flying on a small plane around Tenerife

Now I am in La Laguna in the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
On Wednesday I went to camp, but my parents went on a plane ride around the island, on a small plane.
This is the plane they flew on. A 4 seater plane!
 
These are the plane controls

This is El Teide, the mountain in the island of Tenerife.

This is called Los Gigantes

Just about to land in the airport of Los Rodeos.
