A380 arriving in the northeast?

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?

GF

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.

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.

Quite right. Not to mention the bit about Singapore Airlines flying the plane
in March of this year!

This said - and in partial response to the original post - I did see the
plane fly in Paris. I was driving on the freeway on my way to the airport, when
the beast rose up from the runway at Le Bourget, close to DeGaulle airport. I
was really awe-stricken, even before I understood what it was.

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.

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.
