What part of "for all practical purposes" went right over your head? The
European Union countries lead by France have a long history of subsidies to Airbus. "Chris" wrote in message ... The manufacturer is not a subsidiary of the French Government. Its is owned 80% by EADs and 20% by BAE systems. As far as I know they French government don't own BAE systems and they don't own EADS. Its a bit like saying Boeing is a subsidiary of the Department of Defense. "sfb" wrote in message news:SPqIf.31295$Eq.10583@trnddc02... For all practical purposes the manufacturer is a wholly owned subsidiary of the French government which is certifying the plane so it isn't a big stretch that somebody has figured out how to make the sizing trails part of the certification program.

Hello there, not sure if this is the proper group to post my question, but it looks to be pretty alive, and I hope that I won't be intruding. Does anyone know if or when the Airbus A380 is going to make its way to JFK in New York? It should definitely be a sight to be seen. I know that Singapore air will be flying in March to London. You do mean March 2007, of course. No this year. Apparently the A380 is doing airport visits as part of sizing trials http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=20250 With the airplane only halfway through the certification process, how can a commercial company be flying between city pairs for sizing trials?
