Got a class during the first few minutes of it but will be watching either way. Math can take the high road for this one

Sad to see the end of the line for the 747. 55 year production run, total of 1,574 built.

 

[Alzyerpal]

The departure flight plan is certainly interesting. One to watch for on FR24.

 

[JJ Skippy]

Watching it right now. Top half of the crown and the first 7 is being drawn as I’m typing this.

Watching too.

Signature complete, she's climbing and setting course for home.

It should be flying right over my house about 30 minutes out from CVG

It flew over my house less than 5 minutes ago at 21,000 ft on it's way to CVG.

 

[JJ Skippy]

Forever cherish the moment. A 55 year era of production for the 747 has officially ended. She will forever be the Queen of the Skies and the Jumbo Jet.

And didn't El Al also do something similar for their final 747 flight ?

The final B747, a -8 freighter, was delivered to Atlas Air recently.
To commemorate the event, Atlas issued two items, a metal medallion and a sticker.
A friend, who is a pilot for Atlas, got me one of each.
