'It changed aviation': final Boeing 747 rolls out of production line - Guardian News

[TexasTowelie]

After more than half a century, the final Boeing 747 has rolled out of a US factory in Everett, Washington state to fly with Cargo Air. When it was first produced in 1969 it was the largest commercial aircraft in the world, the first with two aisles. Throughout it's lifetime, it has flown commercially, carried cargo and used as Air Force One for US presidents. The production of the planes have come to an end after Boeing and its European rival Airbus turned to more fuel-efficient and profitable aircrafts.

1. Best plane to travel on ever

I still fly on them with Lufthansa and nothing in my opinion is better. Was sad when United retired them.

Not a pilot or flight attendant or mechanic - but as a passenger it is the best
