all planes rest on three points, not on the gear (that's usual since decades on checking times - so the weight can be measured before and after repairs/outfitting and forgotten tools be detected) the rear point Looks very fragile!  I'd be impressed if it can detect a forgotten screwdriver.  As much as I'm impressed by the huge wings, I'm equally amazed by the size of the horizontal stabilisers ever since I learned that it's about the size of the A320 wings.  |

One A380 wing length is almost the same length as an A320! Fabien  |

Where is the "dislike" button?
Maybe QF could also fix the wings of this frame, hence the 6 weeks...
Poor frame, let's hope for a quick recovery.
Have a nice day

I managed to see it today parked at the QF Jetbase although I didn't see it fly. As can be seen, there doesn't appear to be any visible changes to the aircraft from the repairs.  VH-OQF is Back!!! 8 Jun 15 by JKKW, on Flickr |

OQF had a tech issue on December 29 when operating QF2. After landing in Dubai she went tech and spent a few days with Emirates. Only on January 1 she returned to service as QF2 to Sydney.
