Well not much news this week. Well the tail for MSN038 the first for Lufthansa arrived in Toulouse this week.
Also MSN026 (F-WWSY) has been seen in the hangers at Hamburg fully painted and will be delievered in May. The next A380 will be delivered in April now. Finally the next convoy will take place from March 9-12 and will be either MSN028 (Emirates) or MSN031 (China Southern). We are hoping it to be China Southern as it will be good to see another airline.
