I heard that Cathay has been sneaking in the 747-8F at night. Unless I missed something, I don't think anyone here has gotten it. Anyone have confirmation or pics?

Is it a 747 cargo? If so I took a few pictures of it earlier this summer from rockaway. If I have them saved somewhere handy I'll post one tonight.

Yes, freighter. I edited to show that, my bad. Would love to see some of the shots.

Yup, its been here.
Phil,
Here's the one shot of it that I see in my Flickr accounts. It was nearing sunset and i was having dinner with some friends at the Wharf on the end of B116th St in the Rockaways. It was a 22R launch, and she cut back south/ southeast around Beach 105th St. or so. I'll check my hard drive tonight or tomorrow to see if I have others of it. I think I have the same shot of it as this but with the full length of her in the photo (I think this might have just been a crop job to zoom on the engine to nose view). Don't know offhand if I have more than the one other. My other Cathay shots are of the white triple 7 and the blue-green triple 7. I'll check later though. Enjoy.

TJK that's the "regular" 747-400F. The engines are a dead giveaway.
It would seem I still have much to learn... *hangs head in utter shame*

It was here a few days ago. Came in late at night, but didn't leave until the next morning. Keeping an eye out for it.

On August First, Hong Kong Trader (B-LJA) was here but got here at 1:00am and departed 4:30am :-( Although at 4:30 there is enough light for a long exposure or a very high ISO shot!

Passed the field on the way out and today was the regular 747.
