Cargolux's new 747-8 lands at Indianapolis International Airport

Cargolux's new Boeing 747-800 lands at Indianapolis International Airport (KIND). It's amazing how fast it stopped... it used -maybe- 2/3 of the runway. The most striking thing (aside from the massive size), is how quiet it is. The landing (and the later takeoff, didn't film, it was too dark), were quieter than any other commercial airliner I've heard take off here.
So lucky I was working today, and had a break between flights to go see this amazing plane! Watching it from the ramp later, knowing I'd seen pictures of it from Boeing, it was like seeing a celebrity!
At one point, a 737 taxiied out of the hangar, and compared to the 747, it looked like a toy plane!
Looking forward to seeing the 747-8 on a regular basis!
