Reply to comment by yellandtell in the last Boeing 747 produced is currently flying a logo formation over Washington before heading to it's destination. by Chinpokomonz

it was the first "jumbo jet", literally an icon of aviation history since the late 60s. chill with the pessimissy-pissy.

And...who cares about aviation history? The plane was developed a long time ago and is being retired because it's no longer relevant.

Rather be a pessimist than a boomer.

Boeing is the one who planned this final delivery flight. you're probably fun at parties though.

Lots of people care about aviation history. And while I’m excited about the 777X, an airplane that will do everything and more a 47 can do and do it better, the 47 is an iconic airplane that defined the careers of thousands in the region. Its ending production is a big deal even if you don’t care about it.
