The second 747-8 Intercontinental in the flight test program. Destined
for Lufthansa, the launch customer.

Didn't Boeing say there was no market for another large aircraft? Maybe
that was just a (very immature) attempt to dissuade people from buying
the A-380.

The 747-8 is more an update of an existing Boeing product - 747s are
still selling (especially as freighters) but buyers are keen on more
efficient engines, etc.

At LAX, what I'm seeing is a lot of the 747s being replaced with
777-300ERs & A340-600s.
