Is the cat the same plane you posted before? Or are there two in the same place?

Here's a video on the new 747-8 intercontinental being joined in the Boeing factory. You can really see the extra length in it, it's now longer than a 777-300ER.

The thing that amazes me is the size of the Boeing manufacturing facilites in the USA. Makes ours look so insignificant here in Australia.

Took a few shots from Perth today. I was flying skywest and made sure to take my camera. These are only a few, and the last one is by far my favourite picture. I set it as my desktop and thankfully the task bar hides the workers head.
    And the best shot of all imo

Some more editions to the fleet. These are 1:200 scale and brand new all 3 together cost $66us. Even in the U.S these are 50-60ea. Was an awesome deal.

Love the 727 ED! Sportscar of the airliner world. Sadly the last regular use of the aircraft (scheduled) ended a few months ago with the last dhl 727 flight from NZ into syd. Still going on freight charters but with aus air express now on the 733 i don't think we will see much of them anymore.... I think they are banned within a year full stop...sad. Ah...used to love the noise out of cairns airport they made....

Used to love watching the AAE 727's take off from Perth early in the morning. Roaring engines with a big black plume of smoke trailing them for miles....oh those were the days

I have never heard one. I always saw the AAE 727 at perth airport, but I know our government has banned them due to noise violation or some crap. If people want to build their houses near the airport then deal with it. We used to live on a flight path into Perth. I loved lying there on a stormy night and hearing those 747's coming in as low as they could, engines constantly being throttled up and down. We were about 15km as the crow flies, maybe not even that (it took us 20-25mins to get there by car) and damn did they come low some nights.

If I had my way I'd build near the runway centreline and the house would have a glass roof just for spotting. The missus said over my dead body.

We used to live pretty close to the flight path in Perth. I used to like watching DC-10's and 747's on sun set peeling out towards the ocean after take-off. Fantastic sight.

Nice collection ED, the JT8D's in the 727 are fantastic, whilst holding short of any runway a departing 727 can be felt through the airframe.
