Good to see that Boeing still makes good jets.
Boing was smart in evolving the tried and true 747 into this bigger, more efficient plane, as opposed to doing what Airbus did, develop a totally new airplane in the A380. As we all know, the A380 has some significant problems that make it a less than safe airplane. When traveling intercontinental, I'll fly on the 747-8i, as opposed to the A380. Good job, Boing.
rudy and svend i agree with both of you as the 747 has been the workhorse of the fleet and also glad that boing is helping by making more fuel efficent 747
As the saying goes...."If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!"
Congratulations Boeing! The 747 was always and still is my favorite jet liner and I am thrilled to see the new larger version going through the flight tests.
Flew around the world on 747. Thrill of a lifetime!

Boeing is one of a Handful of companies that have the capability of designing/Engineering a Fully Functional and Flyable Airframe straight from the Computer. Bravo Boeing! P.S. GLAD YOU USED THE 747 FRAME, IT IS WORTHY
Svend,
As I do not come directly from the industry, but I am rather an enthusiast for flying and airplanes, what would make you to state that A380 is less than a safe airplace?
Thanks in advance for the feedback
