I recorded it. 2 hours of circus, stuffed shirts, talking heads and
enough hot air to levitate the entire A380 production for the next 10
years.
The whole program must have overrun, my recorder switched off before the
plane even got shown.
What a disappointment. I finally got to see the plane in the evening
news. Nice paint scheme, but "rollout"? The plane didn't move one inch.
