    First look: The 1st Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental rolls out of the Everett, Wash factory for a brief stint in the sun. This new version of the world's favorite aircraft will be premiering on Feb 13th on a live web cast. Be sure to tune in.

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

    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...

    can't wait to see her flying. who's the launch customer?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    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...
