One Mighty Butt-Ugly plane



The Dreamlifter. A plane built specifically for the transportation of the 787 Dreamliner's fuselage. The picture above is of it not yet painted.



Here is a more polished version of it. Looks slightly nicer.

The 787 has been called the 7-late-7 due to the many delays that befell its production. The first airplane was supposed to be delivered in 2008 but Boeing blames the Machinist Strike as the cause for the delay.



Can't say I like the design of the 787 too much. The 777 is still pretty pretty though.
