Saw a Korean Air 747-8 taxiing

While waiting in the F terminal for my flight back to JFK from Atlanta, I saw a Korean Air 747-8 taxiing. Turns out it was getting ready for a flight because it pulled into a gate. I rarely see a 747 pulling into a gate so this was a great way to end a trip.

quite the machine. always dreamed of flying on one. i recently flew on my first 777, was quite impressed with riding on that large of a plane (i’ve always flown 737’s). couldn’t imagine a 747 or a 380.

Don’t get close to them, they are known to be aggressive. Took the tail off a fellow jet just the other day.

I was staying in the Atlanta Peachtree Hotel (the John Portman-designed one) downtown a few years ago and in came a Korean Air captain, first officer, second officer (flight engineer?), and cadet (one-stirpe). I wonder if they were not from this aircraft (or another 747)?
