Iran Orders 118 Airbus Jets - Part 1

I find it quite funny that many of the people questioning the A380 order would love it if the Iranians ordered the 747-8.

Aircraft often spend a few minutes after pushback before progressing. We do not know how much of that time was spent windmilling the engine before start up.

One reason for the 800 vs 8MAX small difference is that they have 1 fewer seats in the 8MAX than the 800. Odd.

The other potential is we do not know what ownership costs are applied to the different models. This is not just fuel costs.
