Boeing moves first 747-8 Freighter out of factory


Posted at 8:27 pm by Michelle Dunlop

Boeing towed its first 747-8 Freighter outside the factory here in Everett on Thursday.

“It is very rewarding to see this airplane transition to the flight test phase,” said Mo Yahyavi, 747 program vice president and general manager.

Boeing is expected to put its 747-8 Freighter in the air early next year. The first freighter will be delivered to Cargolux.
