The Dreamlifter
When I drove past this airplane as I left the Anchorage airport this morning, my first thought was, “What is that?” My second was, “I’ve got to get a picture – it’s not particularly attractive as jumbo aircraft go.” I looped back around and took a couple of shots.
It’s a special, modified Boeing 747 large cargo freighter called the Dreamlifter. Four of them were built to carry aircraft parts and subassemblies in support of the 787 Dreamliner project.

Oooh – I saw that very plane when I left to fly to Portland. I think it looks like a pregnant Beluga Whale.
