Well, let’s make this topic rise from the deads… ;o)
The current hot news here in Toulouse, but I think most of you, A.net addicts are aware, is the first A330 for Aeroflot.
I had the chance (and actually had to struggle with traffic jams to reach my shooting spot) to record this beauty few days ago when the sun made a quick appearance…
A bigger view here…
The XL colors on A330 look great…
Of course I think you heard about the Pratt&Whitney GTF (aka PW1000G) flight test campaign…
The first A330 for Air Asia X, here appearing whithout the logo on the nacelle…
The last A340 “basic” version is a VIP version…. Looks great to me!
The first A380 for Qantas…
A colorful A320 for Air Asia…
And one of the greatest plane here, the brand new A340-600 for Royal Jordanian…
Let me show you what it should look like when fully done (best guess)
You can find all these pics right there on my personnal website http://www.konnek-t.com 😉

Golden skies for belugas…
Black nose for the giant…
For some days now, Airbus has been performing some tests in the engine noise field. The Flight Test A346 has been equipped with modified Thrust Reverser on Engine #3 featuring now chevrons at the rear end of the cold nozzle, very similar to the B787 ones.
Engine #2 is featuring modified Inlet lip too.
Air Asia bought so many A320s, we feared to be quickly bored by the sight of the red-and-white livery… But we had many special livery (see above) and some little special stickers too, so it keeps us awake! ;o)
Here it’s a disabled logo on the nacelle…
As one can see, there’s still a lot of work to do on the airframe before it finally flies…
I believe this was during the transfert of the a/c from the sections assembly jigs post (poste 40) to the “finishing” post (poste 30).
It will probably look like this at the end… (yes, it’s the clean version! ;o))
Here are some more news from Toulouse!
The first A345 for Kingfisher finally made its first flight…
And Air Asia is partner of the Formula One team AT&T Williams, so aircraft 9M-AFW (W standing for Williams?) is wearing a special -not very aesthetic to me- livery with the team’s colors…
And another new A330 for Qantas with the great modernized livery…
In addition to this (but without photo proofs from me) we were visited today by the BAe Hawk ZJ951 from Warton, UK, wearing its beautiful, special livery…
And the first Air France A380 made a little ride outside the Airbus Lagardère Plant for few minutes…:rolleyes:
