I have said it before, and I will say it again: She is not a beauty, but I am sure she will serve her owners well for many years to come.

On the video there is a 747 that has the area where the LCF is modified painted in a different color. Will this be one be converted as well? By the way it seems that the tail is more bent upwards compared to a regular 747. Anyone notice this as well?

Quoting OyKIE (Reply 5): On the video there is a 747 that has the area where the LCF is modified painted in a different color. Will this be one be converted as well?
Yes, that's the third 744 that's going to be modified into a LCF.

IIRC, the same tail, but they have made it a bit taller (by a foot or two.)

Interstingly...last pix shows the fwd lower deck cargo door is still there while it appears the aft main door along with the manual cargo door has been skinned over. Secondly...is the main deck below the cockpit and ahead of 1LR going to be used for the assemblies or is that crew area? Seems strange they left the windows in if it was for the assemblies.

Quoting Scaledesigns (Reply 18): Who told you they wont paint it in Boeing colors?Thats seems strange.
Did one of the other companies involved request no Boeing colors??
It was mentioned in another LCF thread. Think about it. Its a cargo hauler. Why bother wasting the money jazzing it up when most likely it'll be flying at night between Asia and BFI.

Quoting Nosedive (Reply 11): If if Airbus has the guppy and the whalejet, wtf is this? loch ness monster?
On the local news last night, they reported that some at Boeing were calling it the "Jumbo Dog" apparently in reference to some who say it looks like a big hot dog.
I was there to watch it come in Saturday AM and to be honest, it looks a whole lot better in person than in photos. Still not pretty, but not as bad as I would have thought. It is quite graceful in the air too. They interviewed the pilot on the news last night and he said she handles pretty much like a normal 744.
26 Leelaw: See: http://www.komotv.com/stories/45510.htm for the link to the aforementioned news video.
27 Piercey: I heard an Evergreen/Boeing cross, similar to the Lion Air 739ER Boeing doesn't own this one, Evergreen does
28 LY4XELD: It's highly unlikely...as others said, expect it in all white.
29 SAS330GOT: Built not for style but for function, so not following my way of living and motto... "Fashion Before Function." Well, I am not sure of what it is, but
31 Cadet57: Whaa? What does Evergreen have to do with this? Is it just me, Or does that second picture make it look like a flying Twinkie?
32 SLCPilot: Two questions... 1) Will the main hold be pressurized? I suspect it will be in order to strengthen the fuselage. 2) Have there been any photos taken w
33 AutoThrust: Dunken a little to much today eh or maybe need of new glasses? Somehow it looks like a raped 747. Sad sight for a 744. One has to admit every plane w
36 Comorin: Why not put 2 decks of seats in it and call it the 747-380?
37 Futurecaptain: No. Cargo area is unpressurized and the front was sealed off so just the small cockpit/rest area is pressurized. Now, how much of a bite in fuel econ
38 Dw747400: Evergreen is operating the aircraft for Boeing. Is the nose section (normally the F class cabin) presurized? it would seem logical to put a single pr
39 CCA: Just to add, the new bulkhead is at station STA520 which is the end of section 41 which is the join to section 42 it's the bit you often see in photos
40 Dw747400: But does it extend down to the main deck or is the cockpit the only pressurized area?
