I know I posted a joke post about this very subject a while ago but, over on PPRUNE the are saying that a 380 is turning up on June 10th for gate compatibility trials.
I should imagine the jungle drums will tell us more near the time!
And the best news is……………..I’M ON SHIFT!!!!!!!!

You guys are lucky it will be years before I see one in Canada
From recent press release of testing of GP7200 engines:
The first two aircraft have been successfully carrying out trials including aerodynamics, low speed and flight vibration tests. Cold weather trials are due to take place in Canada shortly, where the aircraft has to prove full functionality under extreme weather conditions of up to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The high altitude campaign successfully took place in Colombia earlier this month while the hot weather campaign will begin in the summer.
So it looks like you won’t have to wait that long! 😀

Ill bring the cucumber sandwiches. Is your roof flat or slanted? If slanted we have a water slide in the makings!

If your idea of a party is tea and biscuits whilst scrabbling round on the roof of a house just to watch an A380 40miles from touchdown buzz over…
PARTY ON DUDE!

Ok well without my parents permission I will open up my house as a base of operations. It’s jtsu 45minutes away from the airport and on the right days (someone will probably know better than me..) Manchester Arrivals fly right over! 😀
Tea and biscuits will be available between 12 and 1pm.
P A R T Y!
