Q

[Reedgreat]

Make sure to cover news of the development of the new AF1, that is really the only major change coming around the corner.

[Daniel14]

The only major news as of now, is it is stored at KVCV I’m going to go see if they are doing anything to them today when I get there.

[MacGamer04]

The one that is slowly disappearing… the 747-400. My photos.

[Nichalas_Petranek]

Make sure to cover news of the development of the new AF1

Isnt there already a topic dedicated to this?

[GolferRyan]

The video about the 747 complete overhaul was fantastic!

(I may be a bit biased, I’m a big Tom Wrigglesworth fan.)

[OC212]

Thanks I am glad you enjoyed it I found it very intriguing

[ollywhxte]

My local airport too! Grown so much since that recording. Even has daily Qatar flights now!
BA send all their Boeing Aircraft their for overhauls including new B777/B787s!

[Reedgreat]

It doesn’t make any difference. There hasn’t been activity on the other thread in two months.

[Matt737]

The 747 is an absolute beauty! Hopefully she decides to stay around longer than planned!

B-LJE, the first B748 delivered to CX seen here arriving into Houston (IAH).

I am quite fond of this plane, which I admire is this plane can land on a rather short runway

for example like the video that I share above, definitely with a lightweight and not much aircraft load
