Boeing 747s Are Back From the Dead
The “Queen of the Skies” seemed doomed to the desert boneyards, but package haulers are rushing to snap up the aging jumbo jets. (www.bloomberg.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Long live the Queen of the Skies!!
This is stating to sound like the DC-3. A good plane with a strong need.
Like the B52 still flying well into its 6th decade.
They've said that it's going to fly for almost 100 years
Both Kalitta and Atlas have been adding 747-400's to their fleet. Most of them are coming from Asian operators such as Korean and Eva Air.
I've worked on many of these birds.It's nice to see they might be making a bit of a comeback. There were several brand new 747-8s sitting in the desert in Marana last time I was there. Those flew from Everett, straight to the boneyard, and were supposedly slated to become VIP aircraft for some middle eastern customers.
I always liked seeing the nose loaders coming in for maintenance.
