I would imagine BBC News 24 will be showing it live. If not, it will be on ALL the channels for a segment of the news.

Live on Airbus' website

Cheers

Live on Sky News. Starting 1000z.

its also on the BBC NEWS 24 Channel 507 on Sky Digital

Lets just hope the weather stays good enough not to know the digital transmission out....

Does anyone know if the take off will be repeated later on tv because i am unable to see it as im at school.
What times it due anyway.

A380 Maiden Flight Date
 

Hoping to go see the Maiden Flight of the A380 in France.
I know that the flight is spose to take place sometime in March, but don't know what date.

Bet that they are itching to get it off the ground. Wonder if the test pilot is sleeping in the cabin, and saying "Come on you guys, are you ready yet!, how long does it take to change a spark plug!".

Thanks in Advance.

i would imagine it to be on the standard news in the UK.

Its already been on the breakfast news, they had a (reasonable) long feature on it with a reporter who seamed to be interested in the aviation industry.

Forgot to mention but is the A380 actually going into the air today?

Erm, no.

It is only the ceremony where the aircraft is rolled out in front of all the bigwigs (Bliar, Chirac et al) and, I suppose, all of the airline hob-nobs (the wooly pully set off this morning in one of his A346s).

It'll fly later in the year, before the end of March according to Airbus.

The fact that a date hasn't been specified months ago would seem to me to indicate that all is not well with the "Ostrich".

Edited after RTFQ.

there is another post stating that it is in march so i am not sure.


was wondering the same myself

David

anyone see anything on the airbus site yet?

got bbc news 24 on but the weather is messing it up...oh the wonders of digital tv....grrr


David

sky digital channel 528 - euro news, does not seam weather effected


David

Today 18th Jan is the rollout ceremony only. Not sure of the exact date but it's maiden flight is planned for the Spring with deliveries commencing 2006.

ES ;)

how much of the aircraft is completed?

is the interior all done?

David

Yeah, would have been good to have a look at the roll out this morning.

Supprised that they haven't made it public yet the date for the maiden flight. Maybe they are waiting for the paint and superglue to dry, or maybe it is just a static model made out of balsa wood, and the real one is at Weight Watches trying to loose weight. Can just imagine at the first interview, "You want to loose how much???!!!".

Anyhow, would really like to be there when it takes off.

Cheers
