Cool videos at the link. The 747LCF is fugly, but functional. Anyone seen any video of the swing tail in action? I have yet to see that.

I bet it looks better once it gets a paint job.

The first thing that came to my mind (for some unknown reason) is that there's no way they ever could have landed that thing at Kai Tak.

(Anyone who ever flew into Kai Tak knows what I mean)

Sheesh, 5 minutes of beauty shots for 5 seconds of one rotate and one touchdown. Plus, the video was shot in 16x9 widescreen, but encoded into .wma as 4x3 standard format.

Glad Boeing is better at build airplanes than they are at making movies.

Perhaps a mascot is needed for this plane?
