These Airbus A380s zoom past very close to people’s home – and it has left viewers divided.
Could you live with having your home close to a runway near an airport?
Well, this neighborhood in the UK does – and it has caused a divide.
Because it has left viewers wondering whether they could live in one of the houses.

Airbus A380s fly very close to these houses
It can’t be the easiest experience living close to an airport.
Sure, it’s a much shorter journey if you happen to be jetting off somewhere.
The location also ensures that you can avoid the worst of the horrible airport traffic.
Of course, those benefits also come with quite a few drawbacks.
One of the main drawbacks is the fact that airports never close – so the noise is never-ending.
The other major problem is that, if you live close enough, you could find yourself living next to a runway.
And it is this exact dilemma that has been going viral on YouTube.
The video, posted by channel Topfelya, shows a normal residential neighbourhood in the UK.
Except this neighborhood isn’t exactly your typical area.
It turns out that it’s located right in the middle of an airport flight path.
And the incredible video showcases some Airbus A380s airplanes zooming very close to houses.
The first plan – a Qatar Airways Airbus A380 – provides some spectacular imagery.
A fellow Middle East airline – Etihad – soon follows suit.
Several more A380s continue to fly by, including American Airlines and British Airways.
Viewers split on whether they could live on flight path
While the video is spectacular, it has left some viewers pretty strongly divided.
Some people expressed their willingness to live in the direct flight path.
“Amazing video man! A dream to live there!” was the view of one poster.
“It would be a dream come true to live in a place like this, which has so many low passings,” said another.
Of course, not everyone was so keen to live in the direct flight path of the airport.
“Just Wow. I love Aviation. But living there. Maybe not. I get some big Aircraft thunder as they pass over my place into Melbourne Tullamarine Airport. In the early hours, it will wake you up,” explained one comment.
“Great for deaf people”, was the humorous view of another person.
What do you think of the video? Could you live with Airbus A380s flying past your house?
