That bird is absolutely massive! I am very much looking forward to seeing her grace the skies into and out of JFK.

By the way it is only 747-8I. No 800 :wink:

That's a big looking plane... I think they should just break down and stretch that hump back to the tail and show how it's done...

[cancidas]

[seahawks7757]

A VIP then Lufthansa.

We were told a VIP as in undisclosed customer. We saw that one on final assembly inside the plant during our tour in November. It is massive - and beautiful I might add...
