THE last ever A380 built by Airbus left a giant heart in the sky for its fans.
A decision was taken to bring production of the aircraft to an end, and the last A380 wing departed Airbus' Broughton site last year.
MSN 272, the last A380 built by Airbus, completed one of its last test flights over Germany and Belgium.
And to mark the occasion, pilots 'drew' a huge heart that was picked up on Flightradar.
Airbus tweeted the image, with an accompanying caption saying it is sending love to all A380 fans.
MSN 272 is scheduled to join the Emirates A380 fleet by the end of 2021 to become the airlines' 123rd A380 delivered to the airline.
As we get ready to hand over MSN272 to @emirates, here's our Flight Test team sending some ❤️ to all #A380 fans out there. #MondayMotivation pic.twitter.com/2YXkEILdLZ
