Half a years production in one shot Yes, although this year's production should be 11 as the .5 rate doesn't officially start until September. Apparently there are as many as eight frames that have emerged from Final Assembly although these are the only three painted and with engines. Geoff

Geoff I did say half of A years production, not necessarily 2016

Don't you think we should merge this thread and the '748 production' one ? It's exactly the same topic ...

Geoff 9 days is a long time at the end of a month for Boeing, probably 9 more 787s, 4 X 777s and 25 ish X 737s will get delivered ! So a couple of 747-8s would be a bonus

So a couple of 747-8s would be a bonus Well it really doesn't matter how many days or weeks the next three take to be delivered, they are ready. Thus far Boeing has only delivered 1 747 in 2016, so three in a few weeks will be quite an event. Geoff

I was too optimistic about the delivery date !! Geoff

Duo to the low production rate, I suppose Boeing can only build 747s way ahead of delivery schedule.
