Has Boeing stopped making 747-8F (freighter)? It was my understanding that a slower build rate of 747-8F would continue. Back in 2012 Boeing touted that half of all air freight was being moved by 747s [1]; I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Airbus would make a freighter version of the A380 to exploit it's greater lift capacity.

For cargo, the 747 variants are doing ok. The A380 has some problems with being a cargo plane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCJrg7j8Uag

They have 24 open orders and are making 0.5 a month. 767 has 111 open orders for freighters and aerial refueling tankers. Both are on their last legs.
