Dwarfing the rest of the aircraft at the show was a UPS Boeing 747-8, which has a hinged nose section that flips up to allow transport of extra large or long cargo and freight. UPS says it delivered more than 400 million COVID-19 vaccines and 30 million tons of personal protective equipment for health care workers using aircraft like this during the pandemic.

This Douglas DC-8 operated by humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse is used to deliver food, medicine and supplies to aid victims of war, natural disasters and other emergencies. It can carry up to 84,000 lb. of cargo and 32 passengers. In 2020 it delivered medical relief supplies to Italy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and it also made humanitarian trips to Armenia, Honduras and Lebanon.
