Today, Flight International (www.flightinternational.com) had an article about how tight the market for new and used (including converted) wide body freighter is.

Seems that some of the "cargo only" carriers are having to step up to new aircraft. Yet some more positive news for Boeing.

You know what this means ? this could possibly open the door wide open for 747-800 orders.
I guess cargo airlines, and pax airlines will sell, trade in, or lease back the old 747-400s, and those old 747-400s pax versions will be converted to cargo to airlines who can't afford the new 747-800, and this will open the door for many 747-800 orders.
Maybe we will soon ( in the next year ) see orders for the 747-800 surpass the A-380 in the next year.
