I have seen a photo of the first B747-400F for MASkargo flying at Seattle PAE, so it is not that one. The pressure test l am sure will be done before it reaches the flight line.
This is what was printed in a Seattle newspaper.
The worker said the plane is being built for a customer in China.
The 747-400 was undergoing what's called a "high blow" pressurization test when the accident occurred, the worker said.
The pressure inside the plane was about 3 pounds per square inch, he said.
