    Boeing produces it's last 747
    JANUARY 31st, 2023 — Everett, WA, USA In Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle, the Boeing Company rolled out their final 747, a freighter version of the last iteration of the aircraft, the 747-8. The 747 is an icon of commercial aviation. Nicknamed the Queen of the Skies, the 747- 100 made its first test flight on February 9, 1969. It was the first airplane with two aisles and marked the first commercial use of the high bypass turbofan engine. It allowed more people to fly farther, faster and more affordably than ever before. 1,574 747s airplanes were built for over 100 customers in 50 years of service. ? The final plane was delivered to US air cargo operator Atlas Air. (Stuart Isett/POLARIS) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

    Boeing produces it's last 747
    JANUARY 31st, 2023 — Everett, WA, USA In Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle, the Boeing Company rolled out their final 747, a freighter version of the last iteration of the aircraft, the 747-8. The 747 is an icon of commercial aviation. Nicknamed the Queen of the Skies, the 747- 100 made its first test flight on February 9, 1969. It was the first airplane with two aisles and marked the first commercial use of the high bypass turbofan engine. It allowed more people to fly farther, faster and more affordably than ever before. 1,574 747s airplanes were built for over 100 customers in 50 years of service. ? The final plane was delivered to US air cargo operator Atlas Air. (Stuart Isett/POLARIS) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
