FLYING EMAIL

Post by 170C »

Just need someone to confirm or deny what I read on Flying's deal they send out regularly. The are reporting the aircraft landing at the wrong Kansas airport. The data they sent said, "A Boeing 747 Dreamliner." The last time I thought I knew about Dreamliners they were B-787's. It might have been a B-747 freighter or maybe it was a B-787 Dreamliner. Maybe I am confused, surely FLYING wouldn't make a mis identification would they 8O

The 747 Dream Lifter hauls 787 fuselages from Spirit Aerosystems (formerly Boeing) to Seattle for assembly. Similar to the Super Guppy of the Saturn 5 days.
