Airbus are apparently having an excellent show with over 700 aircraft sold thus far, including some A380 examples..

Airshows like this are often used by manufacturers to make big announcements. They'll probbaly announce the same 700 orders at next year's Franborough Air Show.

Easy mistake to make if you think the wing span is 74m rather than 79.5m biggrin
