is it in a former communist country ?

the 747-8 came much later, but it will take much less time than to create a whole new plane (like airbus did with the a380). They know the 747 since the 60s...

Asunción ?

Quito ?

I have news from the firefighters, I was shocked when I heard it. The offices above the hangar could be rescued by the firefighters but it was BIAC who said that everything has to burn to the ground, so the firebrigade did what they was told to do. Second thing: According to the firebrigade it was ...

OMG, that 3rd picture is so shocking! You must be going dead while watching the planes and buildings go up in flames :cry: yeah it's awful, because in the 2 first pics the plane is still safe... you were so close to the flammes wasn't it dangerous ? @foxtrot_lima_yankee , Armavia had just 2 a320 ?

it was the SN technics main hangar ?

so what's the plane on my pictures ? A 744 cargo ?

?

What do you mean ? the plane we see is not a 747-8 ?

They just add barrel to a 744 ? seems a bit DIY

BA still have a few years to decide what to choose between a380 and 747-8... so they won't be lauch costumer.

These pictures are shocking, what a huge destruction! it's tragic !
Luckily the SN A330 was in Zurich instead of beeing in that hangar...
Anyway, good luck to everyone involved! my thoughts are with you!

I've found these pictures:

So it seems the 1st 747-8 is almost built! so fast! sounds strange to me...

North West >>>> Tupolev Tu-144LL

Good News for Boeing!

it's weird they don't talk about it neither in boeing website, neither in CAL website: http://www.china-airlines.com/en/newsen/2006index.htm , http://www.boeing.com/commercial/news/index.html

nothing's better than reality. I prefer to see the real sky than an awful mindtrick.
I am sure that small details like extra windows, can show that the 747-8 will be more comfortable and spacy than the a380.
