Re: 380 wing hits the deck.

The wing was being hoisted for shipment to Germany over Christmas when disaster struck
When it was hoisted to be send to Germany, it must have been an A318, A319 or A321 wing, all other wings are shipped to France for final assembly.

Except Lufhansa has decided to buy the A380 as a kit plane and do final assembly by themselves in Frankfurt of course

Edit : Sorry, I have to correct my statement. All wings except for the A380 wing are shipped to Germany for systems and high lift device installation at Bremen, before the A320, A330 and A340 wings are flown to France for final assembly.
Anyway, the only wing that is really shipped is the A380 wing, the others are flown.
