Jump to postThe revised livery on the A380 looks awesome, so much better then the current livery. Initially the Kangaroo looked funny but it makes a nice fit onto the A380 tail and the addition of the tail on the engines gives it a nice touch compared to the Euro white scheme.

Jump to postBased on Airbus' history of announcing orders, I suspect we will see a few A350s ordered with MOUs and LOIs firmed up starting next week.
