That's what happens when you only catch the very end of a TV news ticker and you've forgotten what day it is... :)

I think it will be live on CNN too, because they also broadcasted the presentation of the A380.

I do have an invitation to view it on the Airbus site, but I am not sure if I can make it in time.

It took off at 8h46 GMT = 9h46 UK = 10h46 CET

They are headed toward the Atlantic to test the flight "envelope" that is:
does it goes as fast they thought? How slow can it fly? How high? How low?
These sort of things.
