Airbus A380 comes to Nunavut, Canada tommarow - Jetsgo - 05-02-2006
An Airbus A380 is making it's way from France to Nunavut, Canada for extreme cold testing while in flight, Airbus wanted to see
what would happen when the 840-seater plane was faced with Nunavut's average weather of -25c (that is a high that is being predicted
for the next week). The flight will arrive from France some time tommarow (February 6th), making the A380's first trip to North America.
Airbus will be testing extreme heat conditions in the summer at an undecided location.Pretty cool, I heard it on the radio today.
[Edit - This article is really old, but the event is tommarow]

I'll hop on to the observation deck on the CN Tower and take a few pics..... Re: Airbus A380 comes to Nunavut, Canada tommarow - WBHoenig - 06-02-2006
I balance on top of the antenna of the CN if I'm able to see it come in... I don't like Airbus, but hey, it'd be cool to see!

Word today was that Iqaluit is having a warm spell with a balmy -15C or so high during the day but an Airbus spokesperson said that it
was 'cold enough' to conduct the tests. Forecast low tonight (Wednesday) is -30C and all the way up to -27C for Thursday' daytime high.
Hope that they have fun...
Cheers

Definitely prefer the look of the 747 over that wannabe guppy

But nobody really liked the look of the 747 at the beginning...
If I got the chance to see the A380, I'll sure will...
...and I'm almost sure you will too!
