Boeing's new 747-8 Intercontinental jet touched down here at the Paris air show this morning marking the airliner's show debut.
Walking around the lovely orange beast on the Paris flightline I noticed these initials on the front landing gear doors - JFS.
They are of course the initials of the father of the 747, Jospeh F Sutter.
Boeing initialed the doors in tribute to Joe, who will, so they tell me, be here at the show.
A nice touch.
For more on the 747-8's arrival and interior views via video see Flightblogger.
Here are my pictures of the aircraft taken today.
