Airbus A380 Maiden Flight!

ADAMJets · 04-22-2005, 07:27 PM

Just thought I share the NEWS with you all! Earlier this afternoon I received the following note from Airbus Industries News Releases Subscription Services.

We would like to inform you that there is a strong possibility that the A380 will fly next week. We cannot give you an exact date and time as maiden flights are subject to many conditions that we cannot control such as weather conditions.

Therefore, from Monday 25 April, please consult our web site every morning (GMT+2) for more information.

Just before the day of the first flight, the site will display pages dedicated to the event, including a special A380 lounge reserved for watching the live broadcast of the first flight.

The Airbus team.

Word is that it 'should' fly on Wednesday ( that is SYD time ) so that would be Thursday if your in the US etc but then again they showed it on the news doing its trial runs- that is not official.

We need a Qantas 747SP and a South African 747SP in delivery colours. Everything else is trivial !
