Yes, captain Hydrogen Alpha . . .thank you for explaining to us that Boeing had made the B748F by mistake.
My sticky and spherical friend,

Until you have learned to comprehend the developments that have occured within the B777F and B747-8F programs over the last five years, you will be unable to understand why your (doubtless) sarcastic comment has become only too true. The B777F has got better and better - aircraft delivered today have a structural payload of 106.6 tonnes - while the B747-8F has headed resolutely in the opposite direction. It has wrestled with OEW and SFC problems, some of which that have proved almost intractable to date.
