Who's flying the 747-8?
Aside from Lufthansa's solitary 747-8 that I see every day @ LAX, I can't say I've seen another -8 in passenger service.
Who's flying the airplane? Has it been a gigantic flop for Boeing, or have they done well with foreign orders?
Edit: never mind, I just answered my own question.

Looks like they've only got 51 orders including 29 deliveries for the pax version, and not much more than that for the cargo version. Wow...

i haven't been there in a year, but I'd guess it's still the case.

Saw a cargolux 747 at LAX a few nights ago, think it was an -8F
