Update. Frames in final assembly- LN 1493: GECAS #1, body join position Frames scheduled for final assembly- LN 1505: Cathay Pacific #14 Great update. Are the GECAS line numbers confirmed? Also, what exactly does "LN 1505: Cathay Pacific #14" mean when there is no actual order for it yet?? Has anyone heard any rumors? Could this be part of a combo 8i/8F order seeing as how there have been rumors of a CX 8i order for years?

It's not confirmed by Boeing but the customer code (RC641) belongs to an unidentified airline, and GECAS is the only unidentified customer in the books.
An 14th 747-8F has been allocated to Cathay Pacific but it has not been ordered yet. So we can expect another order for the freighter version.

Thanks, that makes sense, and I see in the Tabulation Number block allocation, that it is assigned to GECAS (or assumed to be in the post). On Boeing's actual report, this still exists as well however: Unidentified Customer(s) Unidentified Unidentified 747-8F GE 27-Nov-2012 2 Since it is unidentified, would it not even have a block number yet? I don't recall this order, does anyone know who it could be?

Ah, after looking a bit closer, I just realized that these are (I believe) the two Atlas NTUs that are currently being operated by Saudi Arabian Cargo.
