The Queen of the Skies

Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine says that it will not be long before four-engine transports are phased out of long haul service.

 

Let's admire this pioneering aircraft, the 747, while it is still around. I've seen the Airbus A380, and for some reason it doesn't have the sense of scale and the presence of the old Jumbo Jet.

 

As for the 11-abreast seating, there should be sedatives.

 

Seen at SFO.
