Korean orders 747-8I

I suspect this is the first of many asian airlines orders for the passenger version of the new plane. As the A380 proves what a heavy flub it is in all but the most dense passenger markets, the venerable 747 will likely continue to dominate long haul routes along with the 777 for the foreseeable future.

Poor Airbus, they really should have stuck to the A320 and A330 sizes. Think of all the money lost on the 4 engine crap they have produced over the years. At least the Yanks still know how to build airplanes.

Oh great, another Boeing cheerleader...

Of course, if you knew anything about what you're talking about, you'd know that Korean has ordered twice as many A380s as they did 748s.

Is the 380 a Fatt American Chick? Shagged, it seems.
