I as an enthusiast, creative assistant and mascot of the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental feel flattered by the recent announcement of the U.S. Air Force according to that they are considering the purchase of up to 3 new Jumbo Jets of Boeing... I must value this news release even more because the sirs at the U.S. Air Force only seldom flatter to anyone, I guess...
Seeing a such big success of the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental at the experts of the U.S. Military I don't have any doubts over the survival of this type of airplane in the upcoming decades... How nice it would be if the new Jumbo Jet of Boeing could be built on the same production line as that of the Boeing 777X or as that of the Boeing 747-400... Because the Boeing 747-8 is a very large airplane and a rare construction - it could share its production costs with other ultra-modern aircraft types... (A vintage idea...)
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
