Will different crews take the job or it'll be the same test crew Airbus chose to make the 380s maiden flight?
Btw, what's the expected thrust of the GP7200 engines?
Cheers!

Quoting Boeing4ever (Reply 12): One of them I think will at least have the SQ tail logo. I saw on SQ's site the press image of a fully painted v-stab being fitted to an A380.
