Will the B747 LCF be making a trip to the east coast anytime soon? Like with what the A 380 did, kinda like a tour.
Any does JFK get any military flights at all, like any C-130s or C5s?

Considering the 747 LCF isn't for sale--it's for use by Boeing--a tour has little chance.

A380 has yet to visit the US, although did visit YVR recently.

I'm not sure how regular military flights are, but they do show up (frequently before the arrival of AF1).

You know what would actually be pretty interesting, if FedEx wanted to buy the 747LCF to replace their A380 orders, that would be pretty ironic.

Possible but likely.... nah........... That is one ugly pig though. I showed my mother a pic of the plane and she said it looks like my dog on wings..... Anyone who has seen my beagles pictures would understand...

Yeah, it would never happen that FedEx would order it, but it was just a thought. I guess the plane was designed more for functionality Vs. beauty, so it serves it's purpose

The LCF was essentially purpose-built to deliver 787 fuselage components between the main factories in Nagoya, Wichita, Charleston SC, and, of course, PAE, where final assembly is taking place. If you want to see it in the East, Charlie South is the place to be.
