Quoting Flybynight (Thread starter): I read the A380 was just in Vancouver, BC. Well, it sure would be neat to see the A380 fly by my downtown office on final into Boeing Field.
I dunno about that, but I would put odds on an A380 winding up at the Museum of Flight. That's not a disparaging remark against the A380...after all, if a Concorde can wind up at that museum, why not an A380 (after how many ever years)?

Quoting Thorben (Reply 5): About as likely as the 747-8 or the 787 coming to TLS.
that's more likely given the fact comemrcial flights always fly into TLS and that you can see the Belugas, A346 and even A380's right next to the runway !

Yes, but TLS sees mainly A32X and 737s, hardly a 767. However, if Boein with it's point-to-point thing is right, one day TLS might have 787s flying to CHC or MCO.

I would put money on the first 787 at TLS being a charter operator.
However, ONERA is at Toulouse, and they have done substantial work on the 787.

I´m convinced that one time or the other Boeing will swap any of their planes from an operator for an A380, but that´s probably 10 years down the road?

You may get your wish when UPS takes delivery of their A380's. They put a 747 into BFI on occasion now, why not an A380 later? Could happen....
If you were around BFI last Saturday, there was quite the display of current VLA's out there - a 744, the 744LCF and an AN124

EWR or ORD seems more likely.

Were any of the SQ A340-300s ever parked at BFI or PAE?

Yes and I'd like to see new orders for the 764... not gonna happen either.
But seriously, I can see Boeing accepting a used A380 as a part of a deal to sell new aircraft. Such as what they did with the A340's awhile back....

Well it isn't unheard of. I think the plane could make a stop. There have been other Airbus planes parked in front of the Museum of Flight. I remember when they had the entire parking lot blocked off for a charter Frontier A319. That was a big smack in Boeing's face as they flew the A319 since Frontier at that point was just starting to phase out the 733s.
The Museum of Flight isn't directly associated with Boeing, although Boeing is a big contributer. I worked in that museum and never once saw the word Airbus anywhere, but an A380 stop would be incredible. But there is no reason for a stop in Seattle since no airline in Seattle will buy the A380 unless AS does some massive expansion.
If you have never designed an airplane part before, let the real designers do the work!

I've seen that AN124 a few times now flying by my office window. What's it doing at BFI?
