I loved every flight that I ever made on the 747. There were times when flying between Germany and the States when the fights were so empty we could spread out all over the airplane. The times I flew 747 Combi's with air freight in the rear part of the plane. Sad time, indeed.
I remember walking through the first Pan Am 747 in Hanger 14 at a Christmas party. Did the same with the 707. My father spent 6 months in Seattle as Tech Flight Engineer working on the design. What a marvelous airplane.
I had purchased a ticket to LHR on 747,just to say I had flown on a 747, and airline changed planes 2 weeks later to A350-1000. I hope to get another chance before they are all retired.
I was in the 82nd Airborne Division in the 70’s and volunteered for jumps on the final flights of a C47 and C119. Oth were cancelled and the next time I saw them was at the 82nd Airborne Museum.
This report regarding the retirement of all Qantas 747s is WRONG! Please confirm your facts with an appropriate authority before writing incorrect articles.
Story has an update from Qantas themselves. Even though it's not an official retirement, it's unlikely to fly again given the situation with Corona.
Maybe so, but the title of the article is factually incorrect
