A Qantas Airbus A380 arriving at London’s Heathrow Airport turned an ordinary landing into a surreal spectacle when it descended through dense fog at night, generating glowing vapor trails that looked almost otherworldly.
The rare scene was captured by plane spotter TopFelya, showing the massive jet slicing through the mist as its wings produced swirling condensation illuminated by the runway lights. The mix of heavy fog, humidity, and the A380’s immense size created a perfect storm of physics and beauty — nature and engineering merging in a fleeting moment.
For aviation fans, it’s the kind of sight that makes standing in the cold with a camera totally worth it.
