I think this is the first of 14 747-8F's that UPS has ordered. I don't know if it is true, but I read somewhere that Boeing has stopped taking orders for 747 8i s (passenger version). Do you know if this is true? I think Boeing is looking forward to killing the 747-8 altogether after they build two Air Force One's and the 14 UPS aircraft. I wonder what Lufthansa's experience has been in operating the 19 747-8i's in its fleet. These UPS aircraft will look good in their livery, IMO.
It's the first one that has taken to the air, but you're correct I don't believe it's the first to of been pulled out of the factory as there's a fully painted one that's been sitting around for a few weeks now. There's currently zero 748i's on order that I know of and can't say much else about the program. Hope it'll be around for years to come..
yeah. no more passenger versions are being made. unless some one wants to say. order like 30 of them... but they are off the order books. to bad.. :( love these sexy birds
Great shot!
Ups a "save" for the Queen of the skyes
Wonderful catch! Those engines sound spectacular when power is applied. Liked!
awesome
big like from bharat ........nice video
I hope they'll take that option for that extra 14. Then the 400's may come back to Minneapolis.
Beautiful aircraft. Well filmed & edited. Interesting camera perspectives. Thumbs up! :)

Dammm that's awesome
UPS have the best job compared to airliner guys who have to deal with moronic passengers
Also, no other US airlines operate 747 8s
Super cool!! Can't wait to see it in full livery!! :D
She’s beautiful even without her clothes on!
Super amazing video!!!!
Smokey skies in the Northwest. Last shot was from a great angle.

Thanks for the info. I'll bet UPS got a good deal for 14 of these.

The trademark spoils it. Make it smaller if possible.
I'm sorry, but I'm having a real big issue with theft right now.
OwnsGermany i understand. I hate that also. No worries...😉
Awesome! =)
