747-8F

All this talk about 73 ...76...77 , as they said in that great movie "there can be only one" ....and here it is ....albeit a freighter ....the queen of the skies .

....







this particular "Queen" is operated by Atlas , on behalf of Etihad.

Amen brother amen i think the more modern planes lack warmth and feeling like the 747 had.

I have been trying to convince my company to punt for the 787-8i but they just don't want anything to do with 4 engines. The future according to them in is in big (or not so big) two holers. A damn shame as after flying 747's for 18 plus years I can testify to the fact that there is just nothing better...an amazing machine. It is going to be very hard to step out of it for the last time in August.
