DUBAI -- It's Saturday morning here in Dubai and I'm just seeing the photos from Thursday night's 747-8F roll-out for the first time. The aircraft departed the 747 line (Building 40-22) and made the quick trip over the Boeing Freeway for Paint Hangar 45-02. 45-02 was part of the original layout for Boeing's Everett factory in the 1960s. RC501, the first 747-8F, should spend at least the next week or so in the paint hangar before moving to the fuel dock for first APU runs followed by a formal move to the flight line for gauntlet testing and pre-flight preparations.

More photos below the fold.
