Very welcome, Nathan!

Throw some seats in it, and we can bring more sick people back from China.

What? Too soon? :-D

But I have to say, seeing it live in Seattle was impressive. WOW!!! What an amazing, and capable plane. It can hold so much. The Guppy is pretty darned amazing too.

Old 747s don't die, they just get transformed:). Great shot Nathan.

Great Shot Nathan!

Tremendous pic Nathan...………..

Where's the 6-star button? We need one for this pic. :)

It’s a -400, the winglets caused a flutter when they were first developed, so Boeing decided to remove them. It’s not as if the design is very streamlined. I know, I know....it’s an ugly little spud. (I used to fly it).

Hmmmm... wonder if she yanks and banks like an F-22? ;-) Beautiful shot Nathan!

Excellent Shot

Impressive bird. Fantastic!

Great shot. I loved snapping this guy when it would come in for landings when I lived in Everett.

Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF)

That's what the Queen of the Skies looks like when she's pregnant with her progeny, the B-787. What a magnificent platform the B-747 has been, carrying not only millions of pax around the globe, but space shuttles, space telescopes, other aircraft and even the POTUS and other Heads of State. And it is now becoming a tremendous freighter, with its high-set cockpit allowing it to gobble up large items through its wide gaping mouth. In this new role it will fly on for many years to come. Is it not the most significant airliner of all time?

yea, that white elephant's flight path is just miles my home coming and going. Inbound, I can hear it by the time it has barely made feet dry! Soon after takeoff it lumbers upwards with moans and groans like no other. Dream on Boeing.

WOW! I didn't know that there was a 747 guppy. Has to the biggest 747 config to date.
