The end of the 747


Delivery flight of the last 747 to its new owners with a little something special during a portion of the flight.

I've been on a few 747's over the years, in the back seats and in the front but the best was up the stairs to the bubble on a Virgin flight back home to the US. Definitely a special aircraft.
nice etch a sketch. just aborted its landing
The amount of planes at any one time is unbelievable.
especially over america. thousands of them
 
I remember when Tomorrow's World covered its introduction and put a bog standard VC10 alongside it - it was gigantic. I like the A380 - but the 747 still looks the more impressive.
 
had the pleasure of flying on one of these many times crossing the Atlantic

even got to sit upstairs in the bubble on one occasion...luxury..
 
I watched an empty one (cargo) take off at Schipol. It was amazing how short it’s take off run was. Amazing plane.
