Wow i am so surprised that i could not see the 2 China AL frame on the list(I saw 1). I already have been seeing B-18356/57/58/59/60and 61 on the airplane seat layout when in the exit seat. Funny how far down the list they are considering this order has been set many years ago. Must have got a low price if they are willing to wait so long for their final frame.

I wonder if it was converted to the MRTT-standard? Was it actually ever seen with fuel-boom / -pods?

Hmm. Wonder why they painted it in house colours. Maybe testing some upgrades?

Amazing .. you have probably 1 years worth of production listed.. Considering we are now at MSN 1442/1443 just been delivered. So at the rate of 8/9 per month we are looking at getting to around MSN1545-1550 by this time next year.
The gaps that start appearing around MSN1155,MSN1557 and so on, does it mean these are open slots? The backlog would only be around 250 now. Lets hope more orders do keep coming. I love flying this aircraft.

Indeed, this list runs into September 2014. Except for MSN 1564, 1572, 1575 which are due for Q4 2014. We saw a similar gap in the production list of July this year, check a380.boards.net/post/8280I don't think these are open delivery slots, there is just no need to assign production slots for more than one year.

Hmm. Wonder why they painted it in house colours. Maybe testing some upgrades? Maybe testing for the new MTOW and various upgrades? And Dubai Airshow?
