The most Iconic aircraft ever made, something which signified the marvelous engineering of aircraft today will no longer be manufactured by Boeing


In 1968 the first B747 rolled out of production

In 2022 the last B747 rolled out of production


What a legacy this aircraft will leave behind, RIP Queen 1968-2022.

It’s still going to be flying around for a while just no longer in production

But this means it will now slowly start to disappear from the skies in a few decades.

Although I’ve never flown it, it is a queen. It will be missed.

This is a sad time. It will be even more sad when they are completely retired (which will probably be around late 2040s).

It’s sad to see the Queen Of Sky leaves us :( I remember when I spotted a private 747 in LFMN and it’s maybe the last time I see one…

I will sadly probably still be alive at that point and I hope to go to the retirement event.

Should there be an alternative?
What should it be called?

I really hope Atlas Air paints a special livery to honor the final 747 ever.

The beginning of the end, hopefully she graces the skies with Atlas for many years to come. In the meantime I’m sure we will all enjoy it before the actual last day comes

Queen 👸 served a lot of time for the world. It was really unique. Aviation history has lost a milestone.☄️
