The english term is "taxi test", or maybe "high speed test", not
"rolling".

What a monster.

Since I believe this is war and I'm rooting for my side, I hope the
thing flops. Still, as an aviation buff, I'd love to watch a
touch-and-go.

I like it beeing in service and generating business. There are concerns
IMHO about so many people in one place (check-in, gate, plane) ...

It's a war between the two giant, state-supported airliner mfrs. The
winner will dominate the business and the loser's country will suffer
economically.

Actually, the 380 would likely be a boon to the economy around here
(Mobile, Alabama) because Brookley Field would probably get a lot of
maintenance and component manufacturing business. Overall, though, if
the 380 is a big success it will hurt Boeing and the U. S.

it _will_ hurt Boeing, but I doubt that it will hurt the US. Such big
companies think global, so they spread maintainance, parts, etc. all over
the world. IMHO

Each A380 will be maintained at the home base of whichever company has
bought it, exactly as your spam can isn't ferried to the USA for the 50
hours check of the Lycoming.

Reminds me of a story a couple of years ago. The Swiss army planned to
buy a certain amount of trucks. Some politicians insisted that they
should be Saurer trucks (Saurer was a now defunct Swiss truck factory)
rather than the somewhat cheaper Mercedes because by buying the Swiss
stuff, they would create work in Switzerland. Taking a closer look it
turned out that by buying the German Mercedes they would create *more*
work in Switzerland, because the German Mercedes had much more Swiss
built parts than the Swiss Saurer...

Did anyone read the Wall Street Journal article two weeks ago that
listed all the A380 suppliers, what they supply and where they are located?
