Good to see MSN 193 back on the flight line, I wonder where it has been all the time.

´One of the Skymark A380s has been moved:´... Maybe these few pictures can give a good answer which one, MSN162 or MSN167, was transferred to hangar ...     Nice regards Mario |

mfranjic , what dates are the pictures you have the crops from?.... (we are used ~and asked~ to provide the links always..) I would understand that they are both now in the same storage colours...... All the pictures I have found on this forum. The first one: MSN 162-167 4/2/2016 by A380_TLS_A350, on FlickrThe second and the third pictures I made from the first one and for the fourth picture it is easy to conclude it is very actual... I am pretty sure that A380-MSN167 (ex-BC #2) F-WWSN was transfered to hangar, but that does not have to be the truth. Judge for Yourself... Nice regards Mario |

Here we are with the 2 EK(BC) frames,
prior to 20/05 both on the Flight Line, MSN162 at A14 spot, MSN167 at A12 spot
20/05 one of them still at A14 (cannot know which one), spot A12 empty
24/05 MSN162 moved spot within the FL (to spot A18 closest to the FAL) and MSN167 took MSN162's previous spot (A14), and another picture shows MSN162 outside from the FL spots, in front of FL hangars..
My feeling is that the picture showing MSN162 plus MSN221 has been taken after the picture of the FL of today,
probably MSN221 took off and while waiting for the touch-and-go (picture of MSN221+MSN162), picture of the FL would have been taken......
I think the left spots of the FL (A18 and A19) are fuel test stations, probably MSN162 would have moved from A14 to A18 for a fuel test, meanwhile MSN167 would have taken A14, and after the fuel test, exactly when MSN221 did the touch and go, MSN162 would have gone in front of the FL hangars, perhaps ready to enter soon for rework?....

I have cut this out from the picture: A380 Flightline 05/05/2016 by DigitalAirliners.com, on Flickr I think it is easy to distinguish MSN162 and MSN167. MSN162 was in hangar 30C from 2-4 Feb 2016 and after that, to my knowledge, neither of them was in hangar ... until now. Nice regards Mario |

The main reason to move aircraft around is to avoid flat tires. Regarding the parking spots, a pavilion for the A350 work will be built on A12 (together with A08 and A10). |

Nice regards Mario I don't think MSN 167 was transferred to a hangar. MSN 167 is still on the same spot, just MSN 162 has been moved next to the Oman Air A330.
