To finish off the week, a surprise. MSN056 (Emirates #14) has finished Final Assembly and is now situated on the flightline next to MSN047 (Qantas #7). This really was a real surprise to us, as we thought MSN052 (Air France #5) would be completed first. This makes two A380s to jump ahead of MSN052, the first being MSN042 (Emirates #13).
MSN056 can be seen behind MSN047.
MSN048 (Lufthansa #4) is now going through final checks, prior to it’s first engine run late next week.
We mentioned in our last post, That MSN002 (Private) is to be stored on the flightline until 2012. Well due the large number of A380s already on the flightline, MSN002 has been transferred to a hangar.
