What engine variant is she set up for now? Has she got the repaired wing and the updated series standard? Might be some real exot. Airbus has MSN1 and MSN4 for testing so MSN2 shouldn't be needed anymore.
No more oligarchs no more sheiks, who would want it as VIP?

To the best of my knowledge, the rumour has not been confirmed. I always had doubts, since this is a frame Airbus once sold as a flying palace, and performed a lot of re-work on. True: the museum is still a rumour. Not true: no rework was ever done on this frame. The interior was ripped out after testflights were concluded as far as I know. And it was used (while already stored) to test the door-modifications. |

Though the new interiors were never installed, I think Airbus re-worked this frame to comply with the sales contract. I don't however know exactly what was done - all information was lost when the old forum stopped operating.

What do you mean, there are more A350s than A380s in that picture?

It should have been in the A350 flight line thread.

As msn 004 probably will go to the museum soon, maybe constant presence of msn 002 on flight line means that Airbus changed their plans about third prototype future. I don't think both prototypes ends in museum. In my opinion msn 002 will be returned to service as Airbus demo aircraft at the Airshows or with unknown customer.
