That's the 747-8. There is no such thing as a 747-800. I was making a subtle joke about the medias lack of knowledge and failure to do even the most basic fact checking of an article.......you would think someone reporting on the industry would know the basics.

You are joking, right? You do understand that, except in certain rare instances, there are no more real journalists any more. There is only lib-tard, emotionally stunted life rejects who spew vomit every once in a while and call it "news".

True, but when actually delivered to their customers, I bet they are designated with the "8" plus the two character airline code. The 747-8's bought by British Airways will be designated 747-836 just as the earlier models were the 747-236 and 747-436.
