Beware Ye The Wrath Of The Dreamlifter

First A Cessna, Now A Car...

Boeing's 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) -- recently renamed the Dreamlifter, to reflect its mission to carry components for the 787 Dreamliner -- continues to make its presence known around the greater Seattle area.

As Aero-News reported, the first vehicle to feel the wrath of the unsightly jumbo jet was a Cessna 172, that got caught in the massive transporter's wake while on approach to land in Seattle on November 16.

Apparently not content to limit its influence to the aerial segment, however, it now appears the Dreamlifter has decided to target ground-based vehicles, as well. Consider yourself warned...
