Airbus: It’s a private party, thanks

From MWAA:

Information About A380 Event at Dulles
Lufthansa Airline and Airbus are bringing the A380 to Dulles Airport for a “route-proving flight” next week. The aircraft is expected to arrive at Dulles some time after 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 25 and depart some time after 9 p.m. on Monday, March 26. The organizers of this event have not made arrangements for the general public to view the aircraft, its takeoffs or landings. Public areas of the airport do not offer a good view of the A380 when it is parked on the airfield. The airport will be operating normally throughout this event. If you come to the airport, please be mindful of passengers who will be traveling those days and do not park in unauthorized areas.

I’m not a super plane geek but I was considering heading to Dulles to get a look at the A380. After reading this press release, I guess I won’t be. Neither will any other uninvited plane enthusiasts.

This is why Airbus is going under.
