First set of 747-8-wings is ready
Boeing just completed the first pair of wings for the future 747-8 yesterday.
German link with pic.
Boeing montiert erstes Flügelpaar für die 747-8 - FLUG REVUE
Their printed edition had a picture of the first nose section assembly a little while ago too.
In the meantime Lufthansa has ordered their new 747-8I seats from some ANZ-company.

Oh yes, this is news. Happened yesterday.
Those wings are said to be structurally almost the same like the old ones just profiled differently. I wonder could you refit them to older 747-400 somehow?
