Boeing delivers the last 747

It seems impossible to believe, but the 747 dates back to the 1960s – and they were still churning them out until today! There are still 345 in service, although 300 of those are used as cargo carriers.

I once flew on one that had a piano bar in the upper section.

  1. My very first flight in the Army was on a 747 from NY to London. This was on Pan Am airways too. 747 and Pan Am will just eventually be footnotes in History

  2. After thirteen months a few miles from the DMZ in Korea, I knew I was emphatically back in The World when I flew on one of those puppies from SeaTac to Chicago.

  3. Yes! United used to have a piano bar in the upper deck with bench seating around the outside along the windows. I flew on one of those from ORD to SFO.
    No one ever believes me when I tell them about it.

    1. I am not surprised. I helped move a small piano once. Even that seemed VERY heavy to me. But I remember hearing about those piano lounges too.
