Nice. Here's a video I found showing their low approach. Unfortunately, ATC coms aren't fully in sync with the pictures though.
Interesting that the tower actually asked for the low approach. One could have expected that Lufthansa would have asked for it first, to ensure a proper show. Anyway, beautiful to see how the A380 "hovers" along the runway...

Edit: There's actually loads of videos. Here's one with "live ATC" :-D, so fully in sync:

Very cool. I got to see one of those land at Washington/Dulles. It was pretty amazing at how slow it seems that they are coming in-got a few pictures too. Interesting article   that I found concerning the braking system. Enjoy!
