Paula, the delay could have been far worse since I ended-up biding my time in the Tulalip Casino, though in the end I managed to win $450 after six hours of play on the Blackjack tables, despite six-deck shoes and a certain comely relief dealer otherwise possessed of the devil when it came to the cards. They even comped me a roast beef sandwich!
Love the photographs Leelaw!
Some things are worth being delayed for afterall!
Currently stranded in Seattle by the bad weather back east, Southwest took the unprecedent step of suspending all ops at MDW for the last 24 hours. However, I did have some fun with my Nikons when I first arrived :

Flew like a 747, which is still way way cooler to watch than anything else made!
From my apartment nearby Paine Field, all I could hear were the helicopters and chase planes… these drowned out the 747 (which I wanted to hear, but oh well)…
Don’t forget that in only two years Boeing sent these aircraft into the air: 777F, 747-8F, 787-8. Do I forget some?

Pity the paint job was not like the 787’s, but a great move that will see more 747 orders and pressure the A380 even more!
Great show.
When she deploys spoilers and flaps to stop - those are huge.
kudo’s Boeing, she works!
What a beauty, the plane looks really loooooong.

When LH get’s their first Intercontinental, her interior is supposed to be state-of-the-art. So you may just find it at least as enjoyable as the Whalejet’s.

She looked good in HD on the local NBC affiliate. Expected more wing flex (based on the artist drawings), but while not a great fan of the 747 as a passenger, she does look magnificent from outside.
Another proud moment for Boeing and hopefully the beginning of a successful history for this elegant and efficient workhorse of a plane

Mate, how fast did you put this together? - Lightning!
I watched the take-off on the Boeing site and the event reminded me just how graceful the 747 is, particularly on take-off and the -8 is no different.
Thanks
That was VERY quiet!
(Take-off I mean!)
