End of an Era: Final Boeing 747 Delivered
The final Boeing 747 jumbo jet is delivered to Atlas Air, as the aeroplane marker bids farewell to the ‘Queen of the Skies’. The Boeing 747 has been in production for 53 years now, with 1,574 examples being produced by Boeing. It was the first dual-aisle jet to be ever produced and is, unarguably, the most-successful dual-aisle jet ever produced. The final example of the jumbo jet produced as a cargo carrier for Atlas Air, departed from the plant after a farewell was bid by the grand assembly of employees, including the renowned actor John Travolta.
