Cathay Pacific 747-8F Delivery Flight

[mr9396]

I prefer the A380, but that my opinion. This is still an awsome plane though.

[willtate2011]

This is not a 747 100 series.....it is the intercontinental 8

[TheEirikK]

@jittybugbug It is a B747-8!! If you not belive me go to googel and picture and serch for B-LJE. It is standing B747-867F

[skylinephotopae]

Oh brother...Ok it's a 747-100SP, good eye.

[jittybugbug]

That is a 747-100 because it has no wing tips and the hump is small

[fsxpilot66]

those are 2 lucky pilots!

[BooBoop69]

holy cow! at the beginning the dreamlifter dwarfs its brother the 747-8! imagine if the 747-8 was made into a dreamlifter!

[786786billy]

beutiful plane but hate the fact that all 747s have bean heads

[Napoleon550]

Es ist einfach sehr Majestätisch. Optisch sieht die 747 viel schöner und kompakter aus als ich A380.

[michaelgold812]

gotta love the dreamlifter in the background

[JRSchiphol]

1:23 you can see a 787 on the background

[griffo2002ie]

Looks smaller than a 747-400, looks a bit like a 747-100

[Poyekali]

747-8 looks awesome. but airlines are rushing for more a380. that's reality.

[roried]

Beautiful.....the 747-8 (freighter or passenger version) makes the A380 look like a flying pork chop! The 747-8 is so sleek and graceful, and the longest jetliner in service. Can't wait to fly it out of London.

[trent8002003]

@roried Can't agree more. The A380 is just butt ugly. 747-8I is the prettiest of all 747s.

[sthill1993]

@trent8002003 A380s can't help being born ugly! :p I can't wait to see more of these beauties around however, (saw one whilst boarding at STN, looks great in BA livery)

[trent8002003]

@sthill1993 Agree. The 747-8 looks great in all liveries. And the pax version looks prettier still than the cargo version.

[sthill1993]

@trent8002003 BA's livery is a standout for me, as is Qantas. Shame none of the airlines I fly on are getting these :(



[MynameisElliott]

@roried You're going to fly the 747-8 for British Airways? Do you mind if I worship you from the cockpit of a Cessna-172?

[tvb0news0is0crap]

welcome to hong kong, 747-8f

[SamuelChung94]

i love the wingflex and how water just sprays up and out on takeoff

[bobairlines878787]

Is that another Cathay 748F in the hangar while this one taxis past?

[chingkongho]

@bobairlines878787 yup

[trent8002003]

@bobairlines878787 Yep. Clearly see the brushwing logo of CX in the hanger.

[upiluften]

Gorgeous.

[b747a380an225]

A380 for passengers and 747-8 for cargo

[upiluften]

@b747a380an225 What makes you say that, exactly?

[b747a380an225]

@upiluften Didn't you notice that A380 cargo version and 747-8 passenger version have no charisma?

airlines and cargo operators choose A380 for passengers and 747-8 for cargo

[upiluften]

@b747a380an225 No charisma? I'm sorry.. that's very subjective. And unfactual.

Because some airlines have ordered (chosen) the -8(i) for passenger usage. Your statement is both silly, and false.

[cypriotpilot]

what an excellent looking plane...really gorgeous

[alluminyo]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! BOEING AND CATHAY!!!!

[shamrock767]

Beautiful!!

[ScottysAIr]

Wow!! Looking good! Keep it up!!

[Shmaaaaa]

aww, where's the wing wave at the end...

[mevee20078]

@Shmaaaaa now we don't want Cathay firing another Captain for an "exuberant" celebration now do we? ;)

[walterwlim]

Sweet sounding engines!

[LHanJing]

Congratulations Cathay Pacific <3 !!

[dave4shmups]

GREAT job! I wonder when the first flight of the passenger version will be? I think Lufthansa has their first 747-8i.

[wowdude999]

Wasn't expecting another delivery, congrats CX!
