EVERETT, Wash., Dec. 6, 2006 -- Boeing today unveiled the new paint scheme for its 747-400 Large Cargo Freighters, the specially modified airplanes that will transport the large composite structures of the all-new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The company also announced that the airplanes will be named Dreamlifters.
The airplanes are being modified by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corp. in Taiwan. The second LCF will arrive in Seattle early next year, already painted and ready to participate in the ongoing flight test program.
The announcement was made to customers, partners and employees who gathered at the Boeing Everett factory today to celebrate the virtual rollout of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the programs progress over the last year.
