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!

There is no such thing as Boeing vs Airbus as the queen of the skies has three engines, winglets and the sweetest nose!

Quoting B742 (Reply 8): Will any of the A380 test aircraft feature airline colours?
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.
