World's Ugliest Plane?
Wall Street Journal today ran an article on the Boeing Large Cargo Freighter,
the "Dreamlifter." It is one ugly plane. A CFI and student in a Skyhawk were darn near killed in November when they flew through the monster's wake turbulence. They were flipped over and lost 1000 feet of altitude and pulled out just 150 above the water. This thing has 65,000 cubic feet of cargo capacity -- triple that of a 747. It will fly Dreamliner nose sections from Wichita to Seattle for final assembly. I still have not taken a picture of it. Heck, I've only been to Seattle once since getting home. Definitely on my list of things to do. |
