The first pictures of Korean Air’s second A380 (MSN039) are starting to appear online, With the majority of them being taken by our good friend BlackBear_31.
And as Convoy #11/2010 completes in long journey, Convoy #12/2010 is announced. The convoy will be carrying a complete frame except for a center fuselage. Convoy #12 is likely to be the last before the summer break.
And on a final note, tomorrow should see the delivery of Emirates eleventh A380 (MSN030), But we will have more on that in the coming days.
