During the plane’s “laying of the keel” in one of Boeing’s production line manufacturing units, PilotsEYE.tv was given the chance to capture the first nuts and bolts of what would soon become the “D-ALFE”.
With up to five planes being processed simultaneously, over 1200 new Triple Seven’s have been “born” in these halls since 1995, and the unmistakable glow of pride is evident in many a face, as Manfred Schridde, Lufthansa’s Chief Technical Pilot, meets his American pendant on site.
Step by step, Boeing’s Chief Test Pilot Gary Meiser takes his guest through the different production stages of Lufthansa Cargo’s new “Number 5”.
From Purchase to Delivery – this film shows the whole process from the first bolt to the first jolt of a B777-200F, callsign D-ALFE, the fifth new Airplane of Lufthansa Cargo fleet.
