I think XWB's hypothesis above is more likely. |

I think XWB's hypothesis above is more likely. Yeah, this frame F-WWDG, MSN6952 only made one flight which was Aug. 30th, both pictures were also taken on this date. If you can explain how Airbus was able to swap the blue thrust reversers for the white ones in flight....  |

If you can explain how Airbus was able to swap the blue thrust reversers for the white ones in flight.... My guess would be that one inboard and one outboard thrust reverser are white, their other halves are blue. In one photo you can just make out a thin blue line at the bottom edge, where white meets blue?  |

MSN 6868 made another flight today. Four flights now, I guess it will fly to XFW for cabin fit very shortly? A 2nd time? It was already there in May:-) I guess with old engines and now testflights with new ones. Delivery will be soon. |

Ah well, I lost track of the ferry flights to XFW.
If I'm counting correctly, there should be at least two frames in TLS ready for delivery: MSN 6720 and 6868. And a 3rd one, MSN 6952, is currently in XFW for cabin fit.
