I read an article in a greek newspaper that the tests arent going as well as Airbus intended! Supposingly they have a major problem with the flexibility of the wings. The article said that the A380 approval may be delayed a year !!!

Hi Andrew, this pic of yours is just great, thanks for sharing it with us all. We all wonder what the A380 will look like when we see it in full operationable service and your pic has helped us see that. It's a great pic, excellently composed. As for the Yank commenting that "It's a shame that the weather wasent good as this photo would look better." Well you know and the rest of us know that the cloudy sky gives it a dramatic back drop, so it is spot on!!!!! All the best from Ady :)

That is unbelieve about catering truck made higher on the upper deck. I am still can't believe it for first testing on catering truck. Does catering will able unloading or loading the carts? Great Shot, Andrew! :)

Are those people midgets or is that plane HUGE ? It will be great if someone got a shot of these giant parked beside a 747 for size comparison.

Fine shot of the ground test! Nobody will be able to get a shot like this in Seattle when it happens. But what happens when two of these beasts arrive in America from Tokyo and London at the same time? A thousand people through Customs all at once?
Boeing and Airbus had quite a poker game in the early 1990s about this plane. Boeing folded; wisely, I think, given the 787 we came up with in response. Airbus hasn

I have to admit that she is the most majestic bird on the planet, but not the most beautiful. The boeing 757 will always be the hottest plane ever to be designed. Its fuselage is curved in such way, and no other planes of my knowledge are like that. Grteat shot

This is one of the nicest A380 pictures! Especially that catering truck on second deck! Very nice. Presumably that catering company thought of servicing the upper-deck more efficiently!

Love this airline. Love those huge engine nacelles. The wings on this beast are elegant. The odd shape of the fuselage though...that's something only an airbus fan could love :)

It uses less fuel than the 20 year old design of the 747-400 however the new revolutionary 747-8 will use a lot less fuel than the a380 and carry only 50-100 less.

'Let's top her up...' Hmm no matter how many ground crew come to aid, it must take a considerable amount of time to refuel this bird completely, perhaps a 40-60 minutes.
