10% of the 380 fleet is parked outside the maintenance hangars, not hidden from view, perhaps because there is no more room inside said hangers, at any one time.

I'd guess some might be parked as they are getting rid of a few. Maybe a few awaiting delivery. Otherwise it makes more sense NOT to park specific airframes but reduce the flying that each does.

The 6 in DWC are being retired, obviously.
Did the first RR A380 arrive on the property yesterday as planned? I haven't heard any mention.

I usually see a bevy of "Blowfish" & Triplas beneath us on short finals 30R and a few more hiding behind the maintenance hangar further right.
Don't they employ 2 ginger-beers full time to tow these parked aircraft around all day to make it look like there's some action going on & no probs?
What's the name for a collection of stationary aircraft, by the way?
A Pod of Blowfish / a gaggle of Triplas...

As of yesterday, a total of zero (none, zilch, nichts, nada) EK freighters are parked in CPH. Unless, that is, they've all magically transformed themselves into a striking resemblance of a USAF C-17.

I believe the 2 parked at OMAA are going in the ADAT for maintenance.
There was an A380 by the BA hangers at LHR last week.
And I'm pretty certain there's 3/4 parked up at RAK too.
