[edit] Boeing 747-400 Dreamlifter

I don't quite understnad why this artcle has to have the "-400" in the name. I saw that it was moved to Boeing 747 Dreamlifter first, and I think that is a good, shorter name for the page. In fact, nowhere in the link that was given [1] is the aircraft called the Boeing 747-400 Dreamlifter. The headline refers to the old name as the 747 Large Cargo Freighter, while the text calls it the 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter. If the campany can call the aircraft by a shorter name, can't we? In addition, there is not likely to be another version of the 747 converted by Boeing like the Dreamlifter that would not be covered on this page, whlie a conversion by someone else, even using a -400, would probably have its own page. - BillCJ 04:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I do agree that I am a little unsure about the title, myself. I will leave this up for discussion. I think, though, that we should wait a few days after some more press articles about the name change surface. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 04:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning on waiting. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to try to move it on my own without a consensus. - BillCJ 04:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, it looks like someone else did. - BillCJ 08:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW, the "Scott Carson" Link is broken. It comes up as a football player.

We (Boeing) are actually building 4 now.

[edit] Cargo loader specs

I'm removing the specs for the LCF DBL-100 Cargo loader. This is ground hardware. I did add a couple sentences on it to the history section, since it is relevant to the LCF. -Fnlayson 17:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
