No source link or pics....sorry.
Just saw it myself. Big white and beautiful. Lifted off from Paine field runway 34L and departed the pattern to the north disappearing through low clouds.
Two chase planes off the right wing. I counted 4 news helicopters hovering for the event.
Neat-o!
link? pictures? ANYTHING? Cool nonetheless thanks for teasing us you butt :-).
Mind telling us where you are...
Everett,WA. 98201
beautiful day for a fly!
Pics will be going up quickly no doubt. Cudos to the first freeper to find one and post it.

I will be gone from work here at BFI by the time it lands but I heard it will also land at Paine Field. You can track it here also.

There’s a bunch of youtube vids already.
747-8 first flight

I hope Boeing moves all those WA state jobs to SC because unions are killing Boeing. Boeing needs to be in a right-to-work state.
A relative has a friend in WA state who owns a business and voted for Obama. His business is almost dead and he hates Obama now. His business was thriving when Bush was President.
What is a 747-8? Carbon-fiber 747?
Of course. They don’t do anything but complain until it hits them in the pocket, then it hits home. Here we are shouting out the warnings before the election and not many listened. Some did, but not enough.

A 747 with 787 technology. Completely new wing. A lot of carbon fiber. Interior that is mind blowing. New more efficient engines. 17feet longer than 747-400.....
Track it in real time:

Sorta ironic, coming on the same day that UPS announces furlough of 300 pilots.
That's one fast bus.
Oooops, 912 kg/hr.
