Dreamlifter

On my way home from work today I saw this landing at one of Wichita's airports:





This is the airplane the flies the fuselage of the 787 Dreamliner from where it is assembled here in Wichita to the Seattle area where the aircraft goes through final assembly.  There are some perks to living in the air capital of the world.

  1. So is that a modified 747?

  2. Yes, I think so. It is my understanding that they basically extended to second deck on a 747 all the way back to the tail. I don't know if they plan on making these planes for other types of uses or not.
