The 747 8 First Flight is scheduled for takeoff from Paine Field in Everett, Washington, today at 10 Pacific Time. I do not know the flight route, but H/B748/R tail number is set at four hours later Paine at 2:12 pm The 747-8 is the venerable 747 jumbo jet 15 model and will initially come in a cargo intercontinental passenger boat (up to 467 seats), as a result of several years.
I will in the future of Strato flight to take pictures and video of the event. Check back on this blog for any updates, photos and video of the first flight this morning.
