My forecast is that MSN 138 will be the last EK frame delivered this year, around mid december...

I assume MSN138 is inside a flightline hangar.

This might be a silly question, why is there so much smoke from the engines? My understanding is that the A380 engines are very fuel efficient and cleaner than the engines of older aircraft so in theory there should be little or now smoke present.

Burning conserving/protecting oils with the start, normal start will be clean. |
