The new orange Boeing livery on the first 747-8 Click Here.
Somebody’s brother-in-law must have had a “deal” on orange paint. The blue scheme is much better in my always-so-very-humble opinion.
How 'bout if they stretched the upper deck back to the vertical stab.

It’s funny how aircraft age, the B747 just looks dated, the new Airbus A380 looks very modern. Your photo caught me off guard though, I thought for a second they had stretched it!!!
Best Boeing sticks to the B787 and whatever they do with the B737.
Kind of like bizjets - the Falcon 10 and the Jetstars still look cool, the Citation 500, Sabre’s, Falcon 50 look dated!!
I have to agree. The B748 looks like a cross between a -400 and -200 in the front (if you notice, the forward section of a -200 appears longer than a -400), and Beluga/Dreamlifter in the back, with raked B787 engines… If these are the same Trents that almost blew up at a client presentation, I seriously hope they got those issues resolved before this beast flies…
BL.
747-8 is GEnx only, no Trent option.
Send that pic to Boeing!
