Cool. What’s the difference from just a 747-500?

They never made the -500.

The previous model was the -400. The -8i is 19 feet longer than the -400. The first actual stretch of the 747. So it will carry about 60 more passengers. Fly further. it uses the 787 engines so it is more fuel efficient and quieter too.

And to the other poster the music was really great. Two guys on violins and a woman on big kettle drums.

Probably the fact that Boeing has never manufactured a 747-500.
