Hey, I might get to see that thing in person soon... I start working for
Boeing Everett in 1 month. I'll make sure I take my camera and all the
pictures I can get away with while I'm there.

I keep saying..... It wouldn't take much to put in two sets of windows
and seats and make it a double decker.

Already certified, in production, proven track record.

Imagine if they beat airbus at their own game.

....there I have some doubts on the DOCs and it is not certified to transport passengers, which is alot of work....
The transformation from B747 to dreamlifter was by EVA Air, Thaiwan.

Yuupers.... And while it's making all those long range intercontinental
trips carrying parts it will certainly be in a good position to act as
a proof of concept design for a double decker.

Boeing does not want to beat Airbus at their own game - which is hub to hub.
Airlines and passengers want point to point - which is why the 787 is a
sellout and the A380 is loosing orders...

The Dream lifter is strictly a freighter for oversize parts. No commonality
with the full double decker 747 that is ready and waiting if the market
demands it, or so I've heard...

So curious question to the group.

Fully kitted out... which has the longer range.

The Airbus 380 or a 747.
