Latest one showed up last week. The rest are coming at the end of the year.

I just got word that the one with the radome issue is still in Toulouse. They must have switched registration between 615 and 614. It is supposedly good to go now. Another acceptance flight is scheduled this coming week.

What sort of issue can a radome have?

On the acceptance flight, it was unusually very noisy in the cockpit. The noise was coming from the radome area. Airbus replaced it thinking it was a quick fix but the same thing happened on the following acceptance flight. It had to be flown a third time with engineers to pin point the issue. It was ferried somewhere else for repairs. From what I understand, it was a pretty good defect.
