The oversized load appeared to be a fuselage section about 75 feet long, and significantly larger in diameter than a 747. And the whole package was labeled "Airbus A380". (Sorry I don't have more detail. It was my brother who saw this. Briefly. From the opposite lanes of traffic. And since I work in the commercial aircraft industry he called me to see if I knew what it was.) Any idea what this could have been? Maybe the A380s are being mothballed at Davis-Monthan. Only if theuy're military. But some commercial jets are mohtballed at Marana, northwest of Tucson (note spelling of "Tucson"; we hate "Tuscon"). ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

I corrected that, because it's wrong. That's all. Perhaps you are both right depending on what you mean by "produced". The final assembly is done only in France, but components and assemblies are produced across Europe. The statement being discussed was "I thought all the big parts of the 380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain." which is clearly true. Not final assembly but parts manufacturing. It's taking place in several countries. And that appears to be the source of their current problems: different design software in different plants that was incompatible. |

And Borchert said i was wrong in pointing out from the NEWS that a test flight plane was produced in Toulouse, France. He said Hamburg, Germany, without a shread of evidence of support. He is just plain WRONG in making his correction. Even an IDIOT like him should know that France is in Europe. I was merely being more precise given the timely report I read in the news in Hong Kong because the plane landed there! You tried to correct that and said it was produced in France. I corrected that, because it's wrong. That's all. You are a lying, twisting stummer Kopf The statement was "I thought all the big parts of the 380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain." and that is completely true. The major parts are manufactured all over Europe and then shipped to France for final assembly. Pay attention "Bob". |

There is nothing semantics about the difference between Toulouse and Hamburg, or the difference between France and Germany. The reporter could EASILY have said Hamburg Germany as Toulouse France -- 14 alphabets each. Or could have said assembled in Germany and delivered in France. Neither was said. I couldn't care LESS if the parts were made in Iraq and assembled in Iran and and delivered to France or Germany just to keep Bush from starting another war. :-) You are a bunch of pedants who spent too much of time sitting on your butt typing pedantic and unsurpported trivia on the keyboard. -- Reef Fish Bob. |

Turns out you're wrong (you should understand that feeling quite well by now) and you're screaming about pedantry. |

[snip] There is nothing semantics about the difference between Toulouse and Hamburg, or the difference between France and Germany. However, the original exchange went as such: Any idea what this could have been? I thought all the big parts of the 380 were being manufactured in Europe and Great Britain. In France. The final assembly is done in Toulouse, but the "big parts" are produced all over Europe (and actually I believe a few "fairly large" parts are made in the US as well). |
