Boeing 747-8 Freighter First Flight

Looking forward to seeing it fly. Largest airplane ever produced in the western hemisphere (and #3 behind the A380 and An-225).

Thanks!

I got the same link. I called the Boeing 747 Communications guy, and he picked up. They're being delayed due to cloud cover as of now.

Interesting, now there are three people walking around the nosegear... Is that a long-haired dude, or a chick?
