Le Bourget 2011 - Airbus A380: welcome back on stage

The A380 test aircraft MSN4 landed back in Paris Le Bourget at 09:37 AM local time, showing its striking new "love at first flight" heart logo. The aircraft first arrived at Le Bourget on Sunday, but damaged a wing tip during a taxi incident on its way to the static display area. It returned to Toulouse for repairs that were performed by a talented and dedicated Airbus team. Efforts paid off with the A380's successful return to the show. Airbus top management congratulate the Airbus teams who worked hard to repair the A380 which is now back to Le Bourget airshow and which will fly over until the end of the week.

Thumbs up if you think that MSN4 should be named "The Indestructible"

@MrJag15 I think 'The Indestructible' title should go to MSN 014 VH-OQA, it withstood an exploding engine.
