747-8 Freighter first flight set for Monday, February 8

Earlier today, Boeing conducted both low speed and high speed taxi tests on the 747-8 Freighter at Paine Field in Everett, WA.  These taxi tests are essentially the final hurdle before first flight can proceed.  It looks as if the taxi tests went really well, because now Boeing is expecting first flight for the 747-8F to commence next Monday, February 8th, at 10AM PST.  Hopefully Boeing will provide a streaming live link of the first flight, similar to what they did with the 787 Dreamliner's first flight.
