These tweets are confusing. The press release is more explicit: One aircraft will go to Le Bourget Museum on 14 February : MSN4 A380. The other 3 will go to Aeroscopia, the museum next to Airbus plant at Toulouse within the next 2 years: MSN1 A320, MSN360 A346 and of course MSN2 A380, this one can't fly.

Wasn't there some tax issue in France for those old test frames? Like they have to stay legally within Airbus bounds in order to avoid full taxing or similar? Could someone please clarify? I think the A400M at Aeroscopia faced those issues.
Apart from that the first A320 is some real gem to me. Truly historic. I hope they put it under some roof. This one would certainly belong to Le Bourget. (Can it still fly?)
