Default Finding the parts

Looks line they found many of the parts. With luck, we will get a good diagnosis.

First of all - The A380 may be a commercial disaster - but it is a marvelous piece of engineering. It is very nice to fly, nice as a passenger and pilot.

The engine on the AF is not the same as the Qantas. The Qantas engine was RR, the AF is the Engine Alliance (GE/Pratt).

The 747 is beautiful, the 380 - well, not so much. But the 380 is far superior both as a pilot and passenger. It is just simply more modern, more advanced, quieter.
