"Yeah, I see it now. The Airbus Beluga flying around 787 parts."

On the flip side, A Boeing super guppy flew Airbus parts for many years prior to them developing the Beluga

The 747 Advance Frieghter with the 17.3 foot extension will make it 249 feet long. 3 feet longer than the A340-600 (It is 246 ft.) Giving the 747AF title of "Worlds Longest Airliner"......Kool Deal!!!!!

Face it Pal, subcontracting, outsoucing, global industry is here to stay. As long as Boeing is still calling the shots, I could care less is the parts came from Mars.
