The End of an Era: On Board United's Last Domestic 747 Flight
Many years ago the Jumbo Jet dominated major airports across the US, and seeing domestic flights operated by the 747 was the norm... But today, United and Delta are the last US carriers to operate the 747 on commercial routes. Both are set to retire the iconic American-made jetliner by the end of this year.

I was the "iInaugural Passenger" on the first American Airlines 747 from LAX to JFK on March 1, 1970 . After nearly 3,000,000 miles in the skies, it still stands out as an event to remember.
DL still has two more domestic 747 Flights on September 5th, HNL-LAX-DTW
Looked but could not find that on Delta's site for 9/5.
Here is the LAX-DTW leg: https://www.delta.com/cart/activity/tripsummary.action?cacheKeySuffix=abb5a56b-c0d2-429d-8a57-6df932d66d72
Is DAL1326 the 747 flight LAX-DTW on 9/5? Delta shows "WH3" place holder seat map for that flight. The other flights are 737s and 757s.
I really wanted to do the United 747 trip but it was over a $1000 airfare to do it as I had to fly into ORD to catch it, and get back from SFO.
Please if any has more info please post it!!!
