That's good for Airbus, cause India goes through an airframe every two months or so!

EM according to Airbus there orders of the super jumbo A380 production haven't past the almighty 747B at all now there cutting back on the big tub. Where the Queen of the skies the Boeing 747B is still in front by miles

That is because the B747F is the best freighter.
But there is a bigger backlog of A380s than 747-8s.

Not sure I can see the A380 as a freighter.

Plenty of volume and likely low prices for well maintained A380s. Likely sellers are Singapore and of course Emirates as their A380s get to be 10 years old (like soon)

Volume as in cubic meters of freight space, not volume of airframes. Apologies.

Oh, I can and as troop transporters too!

Most troop transport is by charter of US carriers and they could not sustain this fleet if it had to be dedicated to troop transport.

If you were able to buy an A380 for half price, it would still be worth it. When USA leases air carrier jets they have to pay extra for the carriers lost revenue.

The bad news is Airbus has sold a lot of planes to financially challenged clients. The clients will find the economics of operating a fleet the flies lower, slower, and consumes more fuel unattractive to keep flying when fuel prices go off sale.

There is good news, however, there is PLENTY of parking in Mojave.
