I'm hearing rumors that Boeing is going to move the 747-8 program out of VCV. Anyone else heard this?

I haven't heard anything about this, either.  I'm curious to see what happens.

haven't heard that, but i would definitely be excited if that happened. VCV is 8 miles from home, rather than Palmdale's 40ish miles

I was out there couple of weeks ago and i saw this guy i wonder if is the sameone SkyBaby got!! ???

Quite possibly.  The only 787 that's been out there in recent months that I know of is N7874, which is ship #4 in the test program.  I wonder if they'll bring anymore 787s out there for testing.

Surprised to see 5 L-1011 out there in Delta colors.... Wonder if they still own them or holding company.  Maybe Sands Inc for parts??

They're your beer cans about 6 months from now.

Yea, it looks like a 1/500th HERPA collection.

Its also shows how huge the 747 is in comparison to even the DC-10......much less the 737.

That is a cool shot you took, Skip. The planes almost look like toys lol, pretty cool! It looks like the little airports I had when I was a kid, so packed with planes of different sizes hahaha.   ;)

Nice shot, Skip. I can see a Saudi 747 in the mix.

Nice catch Skybaby, was this from the fence?

Thanks!  Yup, I shot this from the fence right off Cargo Way (I think that's what that little street is called).
