Airbus 380 fleet was grounded by EASA early on for wing cracks.........

Ah, correct was just reading ESAS statements. Thought they had only ordered extra inspections.

If I recall correctly it was simply inspections, until they discovered a whole ton of wings with improperly placed fasteners that were cracking or causing cracks.  Then none of them could fly until after they were inspected and fixed.

Im pretty sure thats what happened, every aeroplane was dragged in for inspection asap, but it didn't stop them from operating.

I can still remember the choruses of "ding-dong, the witch is dead" from the Boeing crowd at the time - "couldn't happen here."

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The 777 was cutting edge when it was designed, and Boeing managed that program on time and on weight.  All those young engineers on the 777 are now senior engineers on then 787.  The 787 will meet its schedule, and the first customer bird will be on weight.  The 787 is the most successfull launch airplane in commercial aviation history.  Im developing the opinion that the A380 and the A350 wont best that.  Not by a long shot.  Boeing played this one spot on.  And the success of the 747-8 is just frosting on the cake.
