MTSU grad steals the show at EAA AirVenture with UPS' new 747 jet - MSN

It was hard to miss the plane that MTSU Aerospace graduate Mike Starnes brought to EAA AirVenture.

That’s because Starnes, 54, a captain for United Parcel Service, brought a brand-new Boeing 747-8F to the world’s largest aviation celebration. It is more than 63 feet tall and more than 250 feet long.

The long-range jet, with only about 30 flight hours on it before Starnes flew it from Louisville, Kentucky, to Oshkosh, turned a lot of heads at the Wisconsin air show. It is so new that it has yet to haul any cargo for UPS.
