    Great shots- I guess the A320 family now comes with winglets as a factory option instead of just being an aftermarket add-on?

    D-AIZQ - Delivery flight to Frankfurt



    P4-MGU is towed from the paintshop to the Delivery Center as Beluga No.5 'spew' two cockpit sections (A320 family) from St. Nazaire for 'swallow up' an Emirates tail for the Final Assembly Line in Toulouse


    D-AXAL - The Virgin came back from its maiden flight




    P4-MGU

    Sebastian I really hope you keep these shots coming Awesome shots and very interesting aircraft. I saw the Virgin Sharkets yesterday, anyone decides me thing the logo design looks like a mini new AA scheme tail? I would actually like to see something similar added to the winglets for the 738/767 in the new AA scheme, the grey is just to boring for my taste as is on the LH Sharklets.

    Cheers

    03/08/2013:

    D-AZAO - first flight




    D-AXAR - freshly out of the paint shop


    D-AXAK - first flight (finally got it after three days of trying)


    Kind regards,
    Sebastian
