not quite ready..

Saw her today at Changi, parked at the east services apron. Awaiting parts, maybe?



She's not quite ready to fly, many parts still missing. Engine 2 was wrapped in plastic, because most of the cowling wasn't there. Patches everywhere. New mid-span slats.

It’ll be a while, I would say.

But back on subject, what an outstanding piece of airmanship that was.
Shows what we can do, and makes you feel proud to be a pilot.

And Airbus ought to give 'm a medal, too.
