 EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - A gigantic, humpback-shaped cargo plane has been turning heads in the skies over the Seattle area for months as it's undergone hundreds of hours of flight tests.
It's about to become a more common sight in a lot more places, as it begins carrying large chunks of Boeing Co.'s new 787 Dreamliner from factories in Japan and Italy, South Carolina and Kansas to the company's widebody assembly plant here.
It's called the Dreamlifter — a lofty name for a jet whose bulbous fuselage has earned it no shortage of pot shots.
