MSN030 (Emirates #11) will start taxi tests within the next few days. In the photo below you can see that MSN030 has very little scaffolding around which usually means engine and taxi tests are imminent.
MSN046 (Emirates #12) also has little scaffolding around it and will start it’s taxi tests in the first or second week of January. As we mentioned earlier MSN041 (Lufthansa #2) has purple sheets around it’s engines, unlike MSN046. Which could easily mean that MSN046 will fly ahead of MSN041 even though it left Final Assembly later.
MSN029 (Qantas #6) will be delivered today and will arrive in Australia on the 1st of January.
The first convoy for 2010 has been announced. It will contain the remain pieces of MSN062 (Qantas #10) and a new MSN. This will have to be either MSN035 (Korean Air #1) or MSN058 (Singapore Airlines #12). I know we have said this for the last few Convoys. But we are certain that it will be one of these two.
