Just looked at some of my photos again and noted that the last 2 windows in front of and last 5 windows behind the first door on the Upper Deck are shut (some yellow coulour) on both left and right hand side. Maybe it helps to look at the photo to understand what I mean:  F-WWAP / HL7625 / Asiana Airlines / Airbus A380-841 / MSN 152 von insightAVIATION auf Flickr Can we conclude from that that OZ is going to have some kind of a bar on the Upper Deck (maybe been First and Business Class for example)  Note btw: Not the same windows are windows on both sides are closed on both sides...first 3 windows on the Main Deck for example. |

^ I'd say it is plausible. OZ's order seems like it has the "me too" kind of mentality behind it in the wake of KE's orders. Very much like MH's order.

If it's being delivered in June, then it should be going into the paint hangar any day now.
Come to think of it, does Airbus shut down during the Easter weekend? If so, then that gives about a month and it would take about 2 or so weeks to paint an A380 last I checked.

I think it either might be already painted but still hidden somewhere, either will rollout painted very soon, either painted pictures would be published very soon, the last HoVs the frames rolled out after: 13 weeks for QR - MSN137 (a few months ago) 14 weeks for BA - MSN095 (almost one year ago) 12 weeks for TG - MSN087 (almost two years ago...) and MSN152 it starting its 15th week at XFW just today (Monday 24th)...

No it is not that. Compare it with MSN151 - it arrived to XFW 1 month + 1day later and is already painted and rolled-out,
Similar MSN150 - it arrived 2 days earlier and is already few days painted and roll-out.
Simply there is probably time - no pressure so they are pushing frames which must be delivered earlier.

Think about the break over Christmas and New Years day... I would not agree, MSN095-BA1 also had a NewYear break in between (so could have rolled out in then 12 weeks maybe?), and I don't think we should include "breaks" in counting the times, as we don't have any clue of what is being done during that time. Still, if we remove 2 weeks to the 15 weeks of now MSN152, it makes 13 weeks and is already passed that time of MSN095(2w deducted) and MSN087 that both rolled out outfitted and painted... Hence and still, I would imagine MSN152 already being painted or In Paint Shop now......... Fabien  |
