The next Boeing Co. 747-8 freighter was parked behind the Future of Flight Aviation Center this afternoon, ready for delivery to Cathay Pacific.

A spokesman for Boeing said the jet maker did not deliver the 747 to Cathay Pacific today. However, Boeing and the carrier held an event at the aviation center.

Boeing delivered the first 747-8 freighter to Cargolux last week, after a holdup of more than three weeks due to contractual issues.
