Boeing today celebrated the roll out of the first 757 Special Freighter (SF) for DHL Worldwide Express. DHL is expected to take delivery of the airplane next week at Boeing Airplane Services' Wichita facility, where Boeing employees modified the airplane from a passenger jetliner to a freighter. Boeing launched the 757SF program on Oct. 5, 1999 with an order for 44 freighters from DHL.
