Just saw the same 747-8f on tv doing TIGHT (more than 45 degree bank, looked like 60º+ but the camera angles make it weird) turns over lake washington, above the seattle seafair hydroplane race (part of an annual between races airshow tradition.
VERY awesome sight, I'l post video/pics links once the local stations put them up.

I wish people would stop talking about the cost of the flight when it was part of the certification program and not just a sightseeing trip! That they decided to do something different then just flying a test pattern was a nice idea to also get some free advertising! but again, the primary purpose was to finish the flight test for certification.
