Fairwell, KLM 747! You will be missed and remembered in our hearts forever.

beautiful photo off a Legend they will be missed by all

The Queen of the skies, goodbye

Boeing 747s, and, especially the 747-SP, are my most favorite commercial aircraft!
The only rub for me is the extreme range performance of the more modern commercial aircraft.
Like to sit around and imagine just what commercial aircraft will perform and look like in the future.
Probably they'll just perform better.
One way to actually get them to perform better is to make them literally flying wings without any fuselage.
The other way is grossly top secret; and, for more than 100 years, some scientists have tried and died trying to expose it.
Twin engines are here to stay, but, fossil fuel type propulsion is not.
Fuselage type transports possibly will not be.
And, we'll keep destroying our biosphere using toxic-to-everything, fossil fuel based energy sources for propulsion, etc.

Truly, The Queen of the skies. Forever in our hearts

Truly The Queen Of The Skies. Forever in our hearts

Beautiful shot !

Just a question from a 'little airplane' guy: In reverse, before NLG down?

@adelma. A/c is already landed here.. when main landing gear is on the runway, the crew will activate the reversers.

I’m with you a 100% Rob...No aircraft will ever take the place of 747 for me, especially the the 747 SP. Although I’m sure the future jumbo jets will inherently be more efficient and environmentally friendly, non will take the place of the 747 in my heart <3
