747s and 707s are some of the best looking aircraft IMO but they sure made that one mighty ugly look's like a flying hot dog in a bun or like it's giving birth out the front in stead of the rear lol: wonder how much longer before the 787s start flying.
Good Pic.

Gary,,,,I had two guys from the factory here in Charleston go fish with me on a charter.
They invited me to come to the factory for a tour,,,,,,,,,,,I never did go.
I could kick my self in the butt for not going.
