I have just started to build a Boeing 747-8 database on www.16Right.com that allows you to view the complete B747-8 production, as well as searching by Registration, Airline or Engine Type. Clicking on the registration will take you to Airliners.net images of the aircraft. I have also added in the Hex Code ans SELCAL.

View B747-8 Database

I have started building the database from the daily updates published by Puget Sound, and also from Boeing directly. The intention is to keep this as up to date as possible.

It's seems, unlike the 787 program, the 748's are quietly going about the business of getting those jets delivered to customers. I hope they get some more orders soon to keep the dream... er Queen alive!

Well, that didn't take long. While not new news, it is the firming up of an MOU into an order

Air China firms up order for five 747-8s
Boeing books an order that Air China had announced last year, after the airline finally received its government's approval.

By Dominic Gates

Seattle Times aerospace reporter

Boeing's weekly update to its jet sales Web site on Thursday included an order from Air China for five of Boeing's largest jet, the passenger version of the new 747-8.

Air China originally announced this order for the jumbo jet in March last year, but the sale was not firm until the Chinese government formally approved it. That step was finally taken this week
