A little story about the "Dreamlifter" as it is called. Boeing wanted to get their parts for the 787 dreamliner as fast as possible so they built a massive unpressurised area along a 747-400 an put a swingtale on it so that they could get large parts of aeroplanes in there. The dreamlifter was first introduced in 2007 and is still in service.
