Who cares.

It may be longer but it doesn't have more capacity, particularly cargo, and the 747 body is bigger overall than it is.

Vote.

Tell a friend to vote. Vote policy over party.

Lastly, realize you're in the minority of a representative republic. Vote and hope the pendulum swings the other way - or at least stalls in the direction it's heading.

Boeing is the one who planned this final delivery flight. you're probably fun at parties though.

Good one. Baddabing

Boeing doesn't...and they own it.

again, lots of people do.

And...who cares about aviation history? The plane was developed a long time ago and is being retired because it's no longer relevant.

Rather be a pessimist than a boomer.

you should have an adult help you write this..

it was the first "jumbo jet", literally an icon of aviation history since the late 60s. chill with the pessimissy-pissy.

It makes no sense, the 747 is nothing special. I guess a fool is born every day.

lots of people do.

777-9

Who. Cares.

What is bigger?

What if it just sinks all the way down and re-roots itself?

Good thing you weren't near it Thankfully I'm yet to come across any cubs while trekking, but have seen places they've been.

Sad to see it go, I consider the 747 to be one of the most beautiful aircraft built. Truly an example of form AND function.

some are bigger, some are better.

so nitpicky up in here.

I used to be the Tree of Life, I still am, but I used to, too

Boeing is not making any more of them ever, almost certainly. Engine reliability has resulted in twin engine planes being usable for any flights and they are more economical. Pair that with a shift toward more direct flights between mid size cities that don't require a plane that big and the 747 has fallen out of favor with passenger airlines, and cargo is also not as interested in them.

*Not bigger...

now for them to release more 777

it smells soooo good too

How long did someone need to spend crunching numbers to get the flight path to look so good?
