    Boeing Unveils Painted 747 LCF "Dreamlifter"

    Livery is a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting something closer to their new house scheme.

    Me too, but I guess the expense of the Dreamliner scheme isn't really justified for a plane with such a utilitarian and narrow purpose.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Based on the 747-400. Airplane will normally be flying very light, so, there will be fuel savings already & not sure how the winglets would impact the unusually shaped fuselage.... :?:

    Shes fairly ugly I think.Colors put aside even I think but it gets the job done and that is what counts. I wonder what kind of performance diffrences there are? I am sure that it handles quite diffrently from the rest too.

    I think the bubble looks like a long pill for insomnia especially with the name DreamLifter right on the pill.
