Hello, IFC,
As you may know, both Qantas and KLM retired their 747s this week. This is why this week’s FNF is about the 747 in YSSY and EHAM.
The 747-400 is almost always used in long hauls, but not the 747-200, since it doesn’t fly anymore. This flight is a short hop using heavies to do some retro repositioning
I’ve always to do a flight in a 747 under an hour, not you?
Since this is an emotional time, I’m expecting many people to come. In the 747-400.
I have noticed that most aircraft on IF these days are the A350, 787 and other newer aircraft.
Most people don’t scroll to the bottom of the menu to see the older beauties such as the DC-10, MD-11 and others.
This event is going to change that.
This short flight is to give some love to the older aircraft in Infinite Flight.
