It was part of the Fairchild contribution to the project. Last time I
looked, Fairchild was still an American Company.


The only Fairchild I know of in connection with the A380 is Fairchild
Controls, which is a wholly-owned (US) subsidiary of EADS, the parent company
of Airbus.

What are your qualifications for such an extraordinary statement?


Uh, the fact that the wings snapped off of the A380 in testing?

Anthony, you should take your head out off your ass once in your life and
read the certification requirements for an airliner.

On a second thought, please don't. It's more fun watching you make a total
asshole out of yourself with every posting you make.

I'm not an A380 pilot.


I feel that statement could be edited.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
