To the best of our collective knowledge, how many A380s have already completed their six-year check ?

EDF is outside the hangar in Dubai, so her 6 year check is complete.

Understood that but in previous checks (2 years, 4 years) she was the 6th to go.

I have to correct myself: it was the 21st delivered A380 IN TOTAL (not EK's 21st) 
Having said that (and checking my facts better...), both EDF and EDG had their first flight in May 2009, albeit EDF after conversion from -841 to -861. So it seems 007 was brought back to zero hours upon conversion but not for delivery to EK, meaning addasih is quite right about EDF being number six 
Sorry for any confusion caused |

Sorry for any confusion caused EDF flew already in February 2006 and this makes her the oldest A380 in the Emirates fleet. |

Like I stated earlier, 007 had a "second first flight" in May 2009 after conversion. It must have been completely overhauled to zero hours at that time, otherwise the whole "F = 6" does not make sense. |
