This week has seen the roll out of three A380′s from the Final Assembly Line. This is great news, as the previous roll out (MSN056) was almost two months ago.

MSN052 (Air France #5) is one of the three, and was rolled out early in week. Earlier this year MSN052 was put into short term storage at the request of Air France. But now she is back on track.

Also rolling out this week, was MSN057 (Emirates #15). If you can remember earlier in the year MSN057 spent a few weeks on the flightline, while waiting for a spot in second stage Final Assembly.

And last but not least, MSN055 (Qantas #9) which was rolled out late yesterday evening.

MSN055 is the frame on the right.
