  • The Boeing 747 is one of the most storied aircraft in history, the first ever “jumbo jet.” It’s taken the stage since the late 60s, but how much longer can it remain in the top flight of modern aircraft?

    I hope Boeing see this video and reads the comments. The 747 is old, yes, but is still capable of flying around the world. We all love the 747. Boeing shouldnt have stopped making them because that has now given the 747 a certain amount of time before every single one is scrapped.
    So, i hope that The Queen of the Skies has an enjoyable last few years....

    NGL, it really hurts that British Airways and Qantas retired their 747's, and never ordered the Boeing 747-8, since both of the airlines have such a fascinating history with the aircraft, but I forgive them overall because they are still flying their Airbus A380s, and plus, they put many of their retired 747 aircraft in museums, or to be preserved for cinema (And yes, I know the now defunct British Airways Cargo bought the 747-8 cargo model.)

Occasionally I'd see then while changing planes at big airports and sometimes I still see them today, but it's getting rarer and rarer every day.

    But no matter what happens, she will always be the queen of the skies.
