Livery is a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting something closer to their new house scheme.

Me too, but I guess the expense of the Dreamliner scheme isn't really justified for a plane with such a utilitarian and narrow purpose.

Based on the 747-400. Airplane will normally be flying very light, so, there will be fuel savings already & not sure how the winglets would impact the unusually shaped fuselage.... :?:

Shes fairly ugly I think.Colors put aside even I think but it gets the job done and that is what counts. I wonder what kind of performance diffrences there are? I am sure that it handles quite diffrently from the rest too.

Oh, funny name though! Dreamlifter... nice one Boeing! :)

Yeah, their regular house livery would look better on that.

I think the bubble looks like a long pill for insomnia especially with the name DreamLifter right on the pill.
