For all practical purposes the manufacturer is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the French government which is certifying the plane so it isn't a big
stretch that somebody has figured out how to make the sizing trails part
of the certification program.

Hello there,

not sure if this is the proper group to post my question, but it
looks to
be pretty alive, and I hope that I won't be intruding.

Does anyone know if or when the Airbus A380 is going to make its way
to
JFK
in New York? It should definitely be a sight to be seen. I know
that
Singapore air will be flying in March to London.



You do mean March 2007, of course.

No this year.
Apparently the A380 is doing airport visits as part of sizing trials

With the airplane only halfway through the certification process, how
can a
commercial company be flying between city pairs for sizing trials?
