Lufthansa's first A380 (MSN038) has departed the massive final body join facility and was towed outside in Toulouse for fuel calibration and cabin pressurization tests. The aircraft will return to Station 30 in the sprawling A380 final assembly building for final systems installation before returning to the flight line for its first flight to Hamburg for cabin outfitting. Lufthansa, the fifth A380 customer, is expected to receive its first superjumbo in early 2010.
