If You Haven’t Flown The 747, Here Are The Remaining Passenger Airlines Still Operating Them
After more than 50 years, Boeing announced in July that it will bring an end to the production of the iconic 747 line in 2022. If you haven't flown the passenger Boeing 747, here are the remaining passenger airlines still operating them. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As a pilot of an airline that still flies these, I’m hearing rumors Boeing, in the end, may not stop the production of these when orders / high demand for them still there. With the A380 production stopped, what other aircraft can haul people or freight in the numbers of the 747? 777? Not quite. 787? Probably not worth bothering converting it for freight. The 747 has a nitch a 2 engine airplane just can’t fill.
Man I sure hope so, Queen of the Skies!
While I have never flown on a 747, and only flown on any aircraft twice in my life, I have built a few hundred 747's and other commercial and military aircraft as a structure mechanic for Northrop, Vought and Triumph.
Just a very small rant from a retired Pilot...There's a difference between "flying" the 747 and flying ON one. I see this on many forums.
with respect to George Carlin, are we going ON the plane on IN the plane?
Let Evel Knievel get ON the plane, me I'm getting IN the plane!
That's a good point actually.
