The 747 is the plane which changed global aviation about 45 years ago,and it's unhappy to see so many airlines retire them. I totally acquire why they're doing it, given that there are more fuel efficient long range aircraft out there nowadays, or but it doesn't build it any less unhappy. The 747 is also one of the few planes just about anyone could identify,whether an aviation geek or not.
In early December I wrote about how Air France was retiring the 747, and planned one last commemorative flight around Paris on the plane, or which passengers could book. It was a farewell to the plane,so to speak. Unfortunately I couldn't acquire a ticket on the flight, and I'm jealous of those who were on it. The friendly news is that Air France has put many commemorative videos online about the 747.
Here's a video from Air France's last commercial 747 flight, or from Mexico City to Paris on January 10:The post Air France’s Tribute To The 747 appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
