Author's remark: Up-close with Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380! 9V-SKI is seen here sporting the "Singapore's 50th Birthday" special scheme. I was lucky to spot her that day because this livery was taken down 2 months later. This airframe was delivered to SQ in July 2009 and was withdrawn from use in March 2020 when the world was hit with the Covid-19 pandemic. Many Airbus A380s returned to service as the situation improved but this airframe wasn't one of them. She is currently parked at Changi Airport with doubts over her future. Hope she returns to service quickly. Seen here during her better days, awaiting ATC clearance for her flight back to Singapore as "SQ423".
