Heck, some were saying for years that the 747 was in it's twilight years in the last decade and that Boeing would not consider or build a new version of the 747, and eventually fade into history.
But, I believe that the 747-8I is going to sell well, maybe not like the 747-400, but, it will sell and the 747-8I was the plane that the 747 was suppose and refined to be.

The 747 .. still a miracle, still the original jumbo jet.

"The 747 .. still a miracle, still the original jumbo jet."

Ain't that the truth. I don't fly a lot but I've been in several different "Jumbo" jets. Most comfortable ride by far has been 747. I don't believe anyone, in all the years since the 747 has been designed, has developed a better plane than 747 for intercontinental flights. Really, I don't even understand why they try.
