Just came across this from Feb 24th.
"Qantas flight QFA94, an A380-842 (VH-OQE, msn 027) made an emergency stop at HNL from LAX early this morning. QFA94 normally flies between LAX and MEL. According to sources, an on-board medical emergency caused the super-jumbo to stop at HNL. Sources have told me as well, that HNL Fire/Rescue trucks were standing by along Runway 4R as the A380 landed. Today's flight, however, will continue onto SYD instead of MEL."
Comment reportedly from the QF pilot.
"I was one of the pilots of this aircraft. We were enroute from LAX to MEL when we had to divert to HNL due to a medical emergency onboard. One of the passengers became gravely ill. After one hour and fifty minutes on the ground at HNL we departed for Australia and eventually landed at SYD. We could not continue to MEL because we ran out of duty hours.
Great photos. It was a beautiful sight departing from runway 8R with Diamond Head in front of us."
First A380 to land at HNL.
Here it is at HNL International Gate 29
