That very last one is just epic beyond belief my friend!

Again. That is one hot bird. I need to start thining about visiting PAE and hope to see these test birds before they are repainted.

it's a bit strange only seeing 3 carrier's tails on the fuselage... how many are on order so far?

God's grace I start training on the 747 Classic today, humbly because it is a dream fulfilled,when I see the 747-8 I realize I have new goals to shoot for.

An absolutely great set Jeremy!! What a thing to be able to witness....but...I don't know who to be more envious of actually...you getting those shots - or someone about to start training on and fly 747 Classics!!!!! :)

Sweet set Jeremy... now let's see one of you next to her :-) any like that? You MUST have touched the belly!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Manny, I can't remember if I did or not, I think I tried as was just too short. I did touch the engines and the gear though. I do have a photo or two of me in front of it - and one of them from the factory the day before inside one...but those will come later.

SWEET!

Amazing set Jeremy !!

Excellent coverage Jeremy! She sure looks sexy.

Great job jeremy, bit jealous I wasnt at this event. I do have to say I do not like these colors one bit, the gray accent just looks wrong in my eye. They shouldve painted it half LH and half KE
