Guest Chainsaw Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 ...All assembly of the 380 has been stopped. One Qantas a/c in the hangar, another set of wings outside collecting bird poo. Qantas have been told they can have one delivered in Oct/Nov 2007... Interesting. Only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a page I bookmarked when the 380 made it's first flight, someone was, at the time, remarking how 'trouble free' the 380 project had been in comparison to the 747 !! http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay ...

Guest Chainsaw Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Good read Steve :) I found the part about the delays due to the engines very interesting, a 12 month delay with planes parked! Just imagine that now? eeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
