Sorry, but I don

>It would be a big WOW>if Boeing took the Belugas to transport their own parts. Kinda like how Airbus had to use a 747 to test it's new A380's Engines :)

[Guest speight]

Boeing have been using the Airbus super transporter to carry some of their bits! They are in the same business and derive great benefits by helping each other.

Dont know about you but this is a wow for me !! ;-)http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2005/p...pr_050218g.htmlNice pic! hehe maybe Cargolux will have a couple ?! :)You never know.... depending on how it goes this could be a serious Boeing product. After all, the A380 freighter is going to walk all over the 747-400F, Boeing need to address this "new" market.Woah PMDG might even have to build one in the next five years ! :(Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com

>Boeing have been using the Airbus super transporter to carry>some of their bits! But that may be the case for their satellite/defense unit. I don't think Boeing ever used this transport to carry parts for their commercial aircraft division, or someone please prove me wrong.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2
