Boeing 747-8F (Cargolux Colors) - First Ever Take Off From Boston [HD] - November 14, 2010

Boeing brought this 747-8F to Boston to complete some approach tests. This was the type's first ever takeoff from Boston's Logan Airport. Note the amount of wingtip lift before the rotation. I wish I could have seen the wing flex from behind!

I was very happy to see that it was wearing the new livery of Cargolux Airlines of Luxembourg instead of the bland manufacturer's colors. The aircraft wore registration N5573S but will be re-registered with an "LX-" prefix before delivery in 2011.
