Photographer Joe Walker sent the following photographic gem to me today. It's a pic of the Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 making its first flight (snapped returning to Paine Field). She's a beauty, but I must lament the lack of a Ku-band antenna. I know there are reasons why this bird isn't fitted with the in-flight high-speed Internet it so deserves (some that make sense, others that don't), but still. The Lufthansa 747-8 looks naked without its hump. #nufsaid
