After a 17-hour flight, RC523, the 5th 747-8 Freighter test airplane, arrived in Everett, Wash. The longest flight in the certification campaign was also its last as the marathon flight pushed the program over the required number of test hours.

  • can it do a barrel roll?

  • Will it have cracks in the wings like the 380?

  • I love Boeing! God bless America for this beautiful machine. :)

  • What a beautiful machine

  • Wow cant wait to see one fly near our house :D

  • Looks better than the 748I IMO an selling better too. Everyone keeps sayin the Intercontinental is better than A380 but it ain't sellin anywhere near as many and now Qatar have just said "not interested". Just a bunch of self appointed "experts" thinkin they know better than the airlines FDs. Not a good year for Boeing and sad end for a great icon.

  • looks really elegant, especially with white only body. But unfortunately, no airline in the world would use this as livery.

  • So who gets the one they beat on for all the testing?

  • really great music, I know you have time and I know you love music. SO DO IT. kalfm.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-­mc-booting

  • where did they fly to on this 17hr trip? anyone know? thx much. i live in santa cruz ca

    cant wait till one flys over at 40,000 ft
