Yes, I know, this is the fourth Boeing 747 post in a row. What can I say? Interesting things are happening with the Boeing 747…it is one amazing plane.
Today, Boeing posted a new video showing the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental being made, talks a bit about the plane and you even get to meet some of the workers. Definitely worth a watch!

Boeing announced yesterday that they have started fuselage assembly of the first 747-8 Intercontinental at their factory in Everett, WA. Even though this is not the first Boeing 747-8 built, it is the first Intercontinental that will carry passengers.
The panels are part of section 41, which houses the flight deck and top portion of the top passenger compartment. The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental already has 33 orders and is set to be delivered in late 2011.
