And Red X's are about all any of us will ever see...
Airlines are starting to cancel orders for it... a boondogle to be sure...

Not sure why only seeing red-x's. The first delievery of the plane keeps getting delayed. I heard the plane is 2 1/2 tons over weight which would be a huge reason to delay delivery.
Not sure how to fix the red x's.

I believe Fed-Ex was a launch customer for the freighter... they have cancelled their orders and are going with Boeing 777 freighters...
Emirates is delaying their delivery till 2013... and may cancel all together. More than a few other airlines are talking about delaying deliver also.
Never fear though, I'm sure AirFrance will buy a few... then it will be a "success"... :D

Nice to see the airlines buying more Boeing aircraft. Might end up having to go back to work there if the defense budget gets cut.
