Tomorrow, the A380 will make its first flight in toulouse, france...the flight is expected to last from one to five hours, and over 50.000 spectators are expected!
hope everything will go well....imagine, its weight will be something like 600 tons!!!

I'm pretty sure that the initial test flight will have some instrumentation, but it's surely not going to be a load to set records. First they have to be confident of all systems before they run a full profile.......

That may work for me since my 11 month old seems to get at 5:30am everyday! Grin

I am sure they will have some sort of live coverage!
I could always set my TIVO to record anything that references "Airbus A380" Wink

CNN, Fox should both be covering it. Handy having young kids for these things:)

What doesn't CNN cover Roll Eyes

Maybe they will have some live footage from the Flight Deck. Shocked
