Boeing 747-8 takeoff!

747-8 take-off

What a beautiful plane, and check out the takeoff….. it’s big, it’s looong, it’s beautiful and it flies! It’s so cool that 40 years later this is still a current design — the new wings add so much to it.  What I find too amusing is the difficulties Boeing had integrating their new composite wings, all designed on the computer, with the fuselage, much of which is still based on old pre-CAD drawings from the late 1960s… As always Flightblogger has the best pictures and the latest Boeing news… go there for more great pictures.
