Default A380 arriving in the northeast?

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.

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.

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

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