As advertised the A380 performed its first four long range flights on consecutive days without any fanfare, a fitting tribute to the man who guided it to where it is today.
The new man is apparantly a brilliant organizer who saw the A320 production ramped up with very little drama, and obviously Airbus needs such a man to get the A380's through the door.
He may be needed on the other side of the pond eventually if Boeing are to achieve their lofty goals
Wondering why the 400LCF only flew for two hours, a very short first flight?
Cheers
