Boeing Dreamlifter Landing at SFO

Boeing Dreamlifter Spotted at SFO

It’s no secret that Boeing’s Dreamlifter is ugly, but who knew that it’s also allergic to snow?

The Dreamlifters are a fleet of four Boeing 747s that have been modified to shuttle large Boeing 787 components to and from various assembly plants all over the globe.  Apparently, however, the Dreamlifter’s bulbous frame is highly weather-sensitive, so when Seattle got hit with snow last weekend, Big Ugly was re-routed to San Francisco to take shelter. 

Of course, the quintessential Dreamlifter photo is this Photoshopped image, which perfectly encapsulates just how ungainly the aircraft really is:
