Today was the Family Day at Airbus Toulouse. I had the opportunity to make a visit to my family where I'm working.

First time seeing the the Emirates A350 livery. Where can I sign up to be someone’s long-distance Dutch family member? 😅

Yes some have been completely plainted and will be soon delivered to Emirates.

I was a volunteer there yesterday, and if the activities were nice, I must say that the organisation was a bit underwhelming compared to the huge number of people present. Great day nonetheless

Thank you for being a volunteer. Yes, sure, but there were a lot of people attending, and it was comprehensible.

C'est pour les familles des salariés Airbus ?

Oui et ça faisait 14 ans que ça avait plus été organisé

mach219@reddit

C'était tous les ans avant ? Pourquoi autant de temps depuis le dernier ?

[-]

SpeedBird31@reddit (OP)

Non mais ça alterne avec les différents sites à Hambourg, Nantes, Meaulte, etc...

Bizarre c'est tout les ans a Montoir de Bretagne

Non je pense que ça n’a jamais été régulier. Ça arrive ponctuellement, quand il y a suffisamment de volonté pour l’organiser (et le financer).

[-]

SpeedBird31@reddit (OP)

Oui exactement. On pouvait inscrire jusqu'à 3 proches et visiter tous les différents sites.

Vraiment cool ça, y a eu des démos aériennes ?

SpeedBird31@reddit (OP)

Il y a juste eu un passage bas du Beluga, 321, ATR, 350 et 330 en plusieurs groupes le matin.

You gotta love the Beluga, ugly as heck, but equally cool as heck

That goofy little smile gets me every time.

Reminds me of megamind

Airbus fully supports the IAM strike and wishes for the strike to last for many many years.

I really want to see the Beluga 😔 unfortunately it’s kind of rare to see her.

The Airbus factory decorations look much better than most of the airline company logos we usually see

Family day open house celebration at Airbus while Boeing workers are on strike… paints a bit of a picture.

And how FUN would it be to go to an open house at Airbus!?

I like how the A321 has the bright red Remove Before Flight engine mount cover as if it was possible to do anything without an engine there lol

[-]

Capt4inBreadb3ard@reddit

Was there no A380 out?

Aha the last one in Toulouse was 14 years ago actually so we might have the time to meet before the next one!

[-]

l3sph@reddit

14 years ago the subcontractors were invited this one…

That carbon livery on the 350 is a work of art

Yes! The MSN2 is actually the first aircraft I ever worked on when I started my career at Airbus.
