Default A380 arriving in the northeast?

In article . com,
says...


With the airplane only halfway through the certification process, how can a
commercial company be flying between city pairs for sizing trials?


There is no requirement it be certified. It probably has a big sign on
the door that says "Experimental". Lots of those flying around all the
time.


Lots of airliners delivered to paying customers prior to type certification?
I'm slow - show me.
