Last month we managed to get a picture of MSN035′s (Korean Air #1) tail in Final Assembly. Well yesterday, one of our spotters managed to catch a bit of MSN035.

The picture suggests that she has had her flaps and slats installed, and also some belly fairing. She is scheduled to leave Final Assembly in September.

MSN049 (Air France #4) has been rolled out of the Outfitting hangars, But due to the summer break she wont be delivered to late August or early September.

MSN050 (Qantas #8) will now transfer to Hamburg next week.

There have been a couple of small changes to the flight schedule…

MSN050 (Qantas #8) is now scheduled to ferry to Hamburg on June 23.
MSN055 (Qantas #9) is now scheduled to perform her first and ferry flight on July 2.

Both of these frames will now be delivered in Q1 2011.

A couple of online news sites are reporting that MSN009 (Emirates #10) has been delivered. We cannot find any records of this, so we are treating it as a rumor. If this is true, MSN009 would be the 30th A380 delivered.
