Did it have any engines attached? I could not see but I thought the engines were attached on the tour balcony side of the production hangar

really? I am guessing it has to move to the tour side of the FAL for the engine attachment first. I am guessing it ill be after the holidays or am I missing something

I think it should be complete by now (now at 12 weeks since arrival, exactly the time where MSN166 had rolled out ) but as it is a very special frame (Tail,...) it might not roll out too soon, especially that the activity will be reduced for the Summer Break, maybe it could be rolled out just in time for tests and ferry flight...... That's what I was thinking a few days ago, which might be confirmed by non-roll out yesterday or today (switch happened today as showed by MSN172's picture) and further showed by its position now (multi-tool bay 31C). That said, I real hope that I am wrong and that we could see it soon on the FL! Thanks for your report UK380!

Excellent, looks very Great !! 18 weeks. It looks like it is going out of bay 31C where it was indeed spotted by UK380 lately, where I am very afraid is to see a Lufthansa Tail behind MSN170, that would look like Bay 31B (FALstage1) As any of both LH frames would have switched to FALstage2 since long........
