The Airbus A380 returned to CYFB, Iqaluit for some additional cold weather testing in January of 2013.  They spent the better part of a week here, testing a new Rolls-Royce engine. As always, a plane that big in a town this small creates a lot of attention.  Bert Rose and Cam McGregor, part of the original Polar Pilots group here in Iqaluit, got a tour of the plane with test pilot Thierry Bourges.  This photo is Bert Rose sitting in the left seat.  Quite a difference between the cockpit of a C172, and the Airbus A380!

You'll notice the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine, painted blue, in this photo of the A380 parked on taxiway Bravo at CYFB, Iqaluit.  The photo is courtesy of Airbus. Click on the photo to enlarge.
