Hi.
Are you able to confirm that ZA102 is yet to have the SOB modification? She spent some time in the ATS hangar after leaving 40-26 according to Flightblogger.
The flight test aircraft have priority for the SOB mods before the production aricraft since Boeing needs to get all 6 test flight airplanes in the air as soon as possible. ZA102 will get the mods done after all the airplanes needed for flight testing have received them.
Hello, I don't think your LN numbers are correct ans there should be a jump in the sequence:
LN 12 is ZA105
LN 13 is ZA115
LN 14 is ZA116
LN 15 is ZA117
etc.

You're probably right as I don't have the updated ZA numbers for each line number (LN).
Hello, still trying to figure out the LN # for N6066Z?
Not sure but must be either LN 8 or LN 9
N6066Z is LN9/ZA102
Thanks
Hello Uresh.
Any news of 747-8 first flight?
Right now I'm hearing the 14th of January but that is slipping. Might be on the 21st.
