Perhaps Emirates are planning to have it as the 100th frame delivered.

The thing is, if it has stated taxiing already, it might start flying soon, meaning it might have its paint job done elsewhere, where could that be?....... back to TLS?.....

Then how do you explain it taxiing around when not fully painted? To my knowledge this has never happened in the past.

Perhaps although if it's just a font issue then I don't see why they didn't paint the red stripe on the aft fuselage unless they're changing that as well. The other thing I don't get is why the evacuation slide covers aren't painted. |
