Thanks,
Yes they were taken from the garage. 150-200mm would be needed.

Caught? some may ask you to leave, but others don't mind. I was once asked by one of the the security guys "How the view was".

Beluga by far is much worse!

I'd have to agree with Brandon...the Beluga is definitely uglier.

The LCF lawsuit.

Short of it is that Boeing gave Atlas the LCF contract several months back to appease them on 747-8F deliveries thereby terminating the current contract with Evergreen. Evergreen cried foul, saying that they had lived up to the contract in full and had no reason for it to be taken away from them. Boeing, in response, cited the "because we can" clause in the contract...and Evergreen sued saying that doling out favors to an unhappy customer wasn't a sufficient basis to cancel it. At least that's how I understand it.

Thats pretty much the lawsuit but I dont see Evergreen with enough proof to win the suit sadly. You havent seen the LCF till you've been inside of it. You really get a feeling of how big it actually is. Those 787 wings didnt even take up half the length.

It is pretty amazing how huge that interior is

Ok that's a lot better, thanks!

The Beluga guppy might be uglier but the Dreamlifter still looks like it swallowed a giant pig. It'd say it's almost a draw :)

Yea I agree the LCF does look bloated but Boeing did a good job with it. Just wonder how long they will be flying for...

The Dreamlifter still has the fact that it's a 747 going for it.

In my book the 747 is still the largest plane ever made.
