Absolutely Incredible! I would have liked to have seen this one fly! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Weighing in at more than one million pounds, RC521, the second 747-8 Freighter, took off from Victorville, California. Boeing engineers stretched the fuselage of the iconic 747 to create the new 747-8 Freighter. The bigger airplane boasts a designed maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 975,000 pounds (442,253 kg), compared to the 875,000 pound (396,900 kg) MTOW of its predecessor, the 747-400 Freighter. When it was all packed and loaded, the airplane weighed about 1,005,000 pounds (455,860 kg)."  http://www.boeing.com/Features...illion_08_23_10.html [[Video]] http://www.boeing.com/Features...illion_08_23_10.html [[Story]] Lord, give me patience 'cuz if you give me strength I'll need bail money!!

The Wright boys might not believe it but Glen Curtis would be a bit miffed we haven't done more with aircract design. “The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, hearing the old ones wail, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters, while riding his gelding.” Genghis Khan | |||
