    Sweet.

    Coincidentally, Emirates took delivery of their 8th A380 today, which will likely be the first A380 with special paint to keep an eye out for JFK...it has a big "6,000th Airbus Aircraft" title in front of the Emirates title.

    Would be nice. The source taken from this post

    Not sure if the guy is an employee, seems more like a FF. Also this is subject to many factors like their future deliveries, fuel prices and mx issues. I found this one today.

    I hope this isn't a pattern we have seen the same issues with Qantas, AF and Emirates.

    They should have a few more 380s by October...they'll need to fly them SOMEwhere.
