Default Four A380s in flight simultaneously

Posted here in the cargo forum, as the only US airlines to have this plane on order are FedEx and UPS. Video courtesy of Airbus:

You'd figure as far over budget and deep in the hole that this project is they would spend the money on something like maybe oh I don't know ...retesting the wing to make sure it doesn't fail, again!

SW-E-E-E-T!!!

In addition, I like the smooth jazz that accompanied the video.

With Airbus's history of flight testing, I'm surprised they didn't all have a 4-way midair.
