SNAPSHOT Freight expectations The first 747-8 Freighter Boeing built takes off from Paine Field in Everett, Wash., last month following formal delivery to launch-customer Cargolux. The airplane was the cornerstone of Boeing’s 747-8 Freighter flight-test program—then refurbished for service with Cargolux. Founded in 1970, Cargolux ordered its first Boeing airplane, a 747-200 Freighter, in 1977. It has ordered 13 of the 747-8 Freighters; seven have been delivered including this one. Overall, this was the 25th 747 delivery to Cargolux. PHOTO: MATTHEW THOMPSON/BOEING 08 BOEING FRONTIERS / APRIL 2013
