787 vs. 747-8/I

Wed Nov 09, 2011 6:55 pm

I watched ANA take delivery of their second 787 a few weeks back and within a few Hrs. I watched Cargolux do a pre-acceptance flight of their 747-8. All from a distance of about 1/2 mile. Believe it or not the 747-8 being twice the size, twice the engines, twice the power, and twice the weight, it was (in my opinion) twice as quiet! :shock: AMAZING!

I'm sure that new plastic 76 is real nice, but I sure like the 747. Just something about four engined airplanes. Nice to hear it's so quiet.
