The huge plane took off from Everett’s Paine Field, Washington, after a weather delay.

Boeing launched the freighter program on November 14, 2005, with firm orders for 10 planes from Cargolux of Luxembourg and eight from Nippon Cargo Airlines of Japan.
The jet has a list price of more than USD 301 million, though airlines commonly negotiate discounts.
After completing the test program, the first freighter will be refitted and delivered to Cargolux.(AFP Image)
