Rolling out the five prototypes is the next milestone after first flight ! After MSN001's first flight, I'll be looking forward to the cabin demonstrator's first flight and also some good pictures of the interior. That's what's important from a passenger point of view.

Station 30 tests take a while. MSN1 spent 3 months inside station 30, it's normal to hear nothing while it is in there.

MSN3 will roll out to station 18 within the next 2 weeks. Here is a picture showing MSN3 in station 30:

I thought MSN3 looked more or less complete (minus the engines and paint) when it was put under that lightening test a month ago. MSN1 didn't take this long to first flight from the same level of completeness.
Any additional tests being done on the ground? More equipment? I remember Emanuele Costanzo talking in one of the interviews that MSN3 will be dedicated to engine tests.
