No i think Baroque saw the three chillies in the SriLankan airlines livery, a380.boards.net/thread/42/nice-photos-videos-a330s-a340s?page=28Even if they have similar colors, you might best see the difference if you compare two tails beneath each other. |

2 questions :
- it is very quiet here on this forum. Is that because it is very quiet in Toulouse? Any reason?
- i also see that the influx in station 50 seems to have slowed down the last 2 months. Is that so? Does it have a reason? Is it because the A350-1000 is in the final assembly? Is it because elements of the aircraft interior are now being mounted in the stations instead of in the tents?
Thanks for your insights!

It is very quiet here on this forum. Is that because it is very quiet in Toulouse? Any reason? Every year, activity seems to pick up in November and December and, after the year-end pause, there is a slow start in January. Every year, Airbus' January press update effectively starts the new year and trips a flurry of comments on all kind of subjects. This year is no different, except that most of the buzz on our forum has focused on some unusual A380 activity. - Press reports about ANA's purported order for three new A380s, and speculation about possible additional orders. - Airbus' official announcement, during its recent press update, of three A380 orders from an undisclosed new airline customer. - Cancellation by Airbus of one Transaero order (out of four), the remaining three being transferred to an unknown South-American lessor, tripping speculation about a possible operator for these frames. - Comments from IAG's CEO about British Airways' experience with the A380, and his announcement that the group is in the market for five to six used A380s, rather than exercising some of the options it holds. Though A350 news have been slower, there has been some buzz about the A350-1000, with its engine flight test campaign going on, press articles about purported new orders from Virgin, and a second order conversion to that sub-type by LATAM. Altogether, I found January 2016 somewhat more interesting than I expected. |

It looks slow due to the holidays, but there's now a FAL loading every 6 days.

"one every 6 days", i take it you mean "calendar days"?
so that means 5 every month?
or is it "working days" and then it would mean "a bit less than 4 every month"?
