A380 1st Flights/Delivery Flights Thread

[bloob]

It would be mighty grand if the A380 would make a surprise flyover Marina Bay on National Day. That would blow away all the F16s and AH-64 Apaches anytime.

Hello,.,,,,,News about the A380:

According to local Spotters MSN003 will leave XFW on July 16th, 2007 and will fly to Toulouse. A picture of MSN003 can be seen here. http://www.spotterforum.net/viewtopic.php?p=1938#1938. Just follow the link included in the first entry of that thread (I was not sure if I am allowed to install the link to the picture directly).

I've found also a link to some more pictures... See the three window lights.. I'm realy like this news. Maybe earlier delivery?

Maybe they should call the new first class a "Fullerton Class"
I like fullerton over raffles anyways.

Maybe even "81" class.....

Looks like she's almost ready to come home

[Megatop]

Cant wait.

Wonder what the "K" in the registration stands for.
(Like 77W --> 9V-SW_)

Is there already an idea when the route SIN-LHR will be starting?
In april 2008 I go to Bangkok but I wouldn't mind a stopover in SIN when flying the A380!

Wonder what the "K" in the registration stands for.

Has the W in SWB got anything to do with 77W? How about the 772ER then? Registration codes for this aircraft type are SV*.

[bloob]

They could be asset category codes, which may not have any meaning attached.

A little bird told me that the big bird whale jet will make a visit at Changi between August 9 till August 15.

spotters, cameras at the ready!

Will SQ send one A380 to LAX (just like what QF is going to do)?

[zvezda]

Will SQ send one A380 to LAX?

There is a very good chance that SQ will eventually upgauge SIN-NRT-LAX to WhaleJet service.
