Assembling 747-8 - July 17 - The flight test ships

Boeing released this photo yesterday (taken July 15) of the first three sets of wings for the 747-8F test program. All of these aircraft will support certification for the new variant. Shown (bottom to top) are the 1420th, 1421st and 1422nd 747s built.  Following the flight test program and refurbishment, these 747s will eventually be delivered to Cargolux (1420) and Nippon Cargo Airlines (1421 & 1422).
