V-Flyer

I can't believe what they have done to this plane.

Looks like it will only ever be a freighter, but should it ever become a passenger aircraft I guess it could be tripple decker.

That plane will only ever be used for cargo it has been designed specifically by boeing to transport parts for the 787.

As you can see it is a 747 with an extra sized fuselage for the aircraft parts.

It will never enter service as a passenger jet.

IIRC Boeing has created 3 of these jets to transport parts from Asia to the production plant in the US

Looks like a cross between a jumbo and a fibre glass lagged hot water tank

If they had painted the nose and part of the tail brown it would have looked like a Hot Dog. Then all you need is some red and yellow paint along the top and you have your toppings sorted.

I dunno why the likes of Boeing don't snap me up.

Actually it does!! And when it's taxiing towards you it looks like there is a face painted on the nose

Here is a picture of the jumbo with its paint scheme.
