Coooool...thats a spray booth and a half!

[Jools]

Fantastic...

It's only when you see the fuselage sections on a barge and some of the wing sections on transporters that you fully realise how big these things are.

Anybody who has done an project management or configuration control must be in awe of the complexity of projects like these.

Now all they need to do is time lapse the flight times to San Fransisco or Singapore eh?

[Rattler]

Great find fella - how much do these things cost?

[antonye]

"13 companies have already placed firm orders for 149 of the aircraft, which comes with a catalogue price of between U.S. $263 and $286 million (€200 and €218 million.)"
