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.
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.
can it do a barrel roll?

Will it have cracks in the wings like the 380?

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