747-800!

Shock![:0]

To combat the A380, Boeing launches an upgrade to the 744, the 747-800. Image shown is the first, already decked out in VS colors!

Excellent

Hi,

Any specs for this beasty? I mean, upper and lower decks etc...

TS

Lower deck is unchanged. Upper deck is same layout, but around two-and-a-half times longer than the upper deck on the 744.

Nothing else yet, but there are rumors that airlines will be able to have small swimming pools, shops and gyms installed with the extra space the enlarged upper deck will give them

[Pete]

I heard a rumour that Thai have ordered 12 of them, but want to use the upper deck as a massage parlour. Any truth in that?;)

P.

Wow - trouble is, no airport will have a long enough runway to cope with it. Except for Robin Hood:D:D

Nick

True!

I'd heard that each Upper Class passenger would actually have their own little mini-cabin (kind of like the UCS on steroids) all to themselves! AND (get this!) there might even be a running track around the lower deck to combat DVT!

And Pix, I think there may be some truth in the massage parlor rumor!

Well I heard that CA would want to take a load so they could have a massive casino all along the upper deck

Cheers

Hi,

That's amazing!! [8D]

You all know its fake right???

For more see http://www.hank.ch/airliner/fake/fake.htm (Cant see the Virgin one on his site, where did you get it from TJ?)

Boing have not even launched the 7E7 dreamliner yet.

Give the projected additions to the plane by my esteemed colleagues I'd assumed so...

Y'know they've removed "gullible" from the latest OED? (sorry couldn't resist [:I])

Ohhhh sheesh, I feel this topic is going to turn into one of those 7 pagers now.

Ok, next person to make fun of me owes me a UC ticket!..... And dont even think about asking if I want it on the new 747-800 [:p]

[Decker]

no at least you're staying honourable and not going back and retrospectively editing your postings :D:D
