    It was very graceful to see the new bird rotate beautifully and ease into the low clouds.

    Rather a big 24 hours in aviation, 747-8 takes flight, A380 visits Boston for the first time, and the Shuttle makes its last night launch. The 747-8 looks great with the larger engines and longer body.
