It will be nice if whenever they can bring something to the US with a range that can consistently make LAX-MNL without the tech stop in GUM or HNL. 747-8I would be great on that route. Also a great point in the article about the A380's being to big for facilities and Philippine domestic airports outside MNL, since PR uses their long haul wide bodies for short domestic hops on their off hours between long haul flights.
