The 747’s 56th Anniversary Group Flight! @ KPAE - KCHS

The 747’s 56th Anniversary Group Flight!


Welcome to the 747’s 56th Anniversary Group Flight!

When the first 747 departed on its maiden flight out of Boeing’s Everett, Washington plant on February 9, 1969, few could have imagined it would become the legend of aviation that it is today.

Today’s group flight honors the contributions that the 747 has made to aviation history, while also celebrating the future of aviation in the United States and beyond!

That’s a great idea! I don’t know how to make that kind of flight plan, though.

yea you’d have to figure it out, also the spacing is an issue too

Right. Speed might be an issue too because the NAV doesn’t make tight turns well at high speed.
