It sure looks like it. She's turning into a little bit of a looker, the old manatee.

Very nice livery and very nice flying at Farnborough.

Nah. It's one of the few aeroplanes that looks uglier in real life than it does in pictures.

Herod - you sound like a Hamble cadet!

It's all in a p-job. A keen wrist works wonders........

The flying Vagina - horrible from the outside - lovely on the inside.

Why do people say it looks like a Dugong when it clearly looks like this......

Waiting at the gate at DXB, I wonder at the UGLY plane parked at the next gate; they should blank out the jet bridge windows so pax don't have to see it. BUT, the ride is marvelous, the quiet and the bar.

Beware here comes the "Super, super, mega Strimmer" to talk to a bunch of trees near you.

great video thanks for posting it..
a couple of questions if i may..is this aircraft on pre delivery to mas? and if so would they have to give permission for it to be used?
also would the crew have been from mas or airbus?
thanks in advance.
