Alla notizia della sua morte mi sono sentito come il vecchio Proust che rivede il "tempo perduto". Foto in bianco&nero, ragazzi seduti intorno ad un tavolino di bar davanti a una gassosa. Il rumore di una Citroen Pallas che si allontana e lo stupore per quella ragazza dentro una strepitosa minigonna ritratta sulla copertina di QiuGiovani poggiata sopra un jukebox. Ciao Jane....e grazie. @ilpianistasultetto

“Queen of the Skies”

Nearly 55 years after Boeing started production of its jumbo 747 jet, the last model of the iconic airplane left the company’s factory in Everett on December 7, 2022 closing a chapter in aviation history.

Back in the 1960s, Boeing engineer Joe Sutter designed the 747, the world’s first twin-aisle airplane, to carry 400 passengers or more on long-haul flights. Production began in 1967, and the first plane entered service with Pan Am in 1970.

For decades, the 747 was celebrated as the “Queen of the Skies” — and it played supporting roles in movies ranging from “Airport 77″ and “Air Force One” to the 2020 sci-fi movie “Tenet.” More than 1,500 of the planes were produced.

But as the aviation industry came to focus on fuel efficiency and point-to-point route planning, the business model for the passenger 747 became obsolete. In recent years, the 747 has increasingly been used for cargo rather than passengers, and the baton has been passed to other wide-body jets such as the 767, 777, 787 and 777x.

Although it’s the end of the production line for the 747, it’s not yet the end of the line for the planes. Existing 747s, including the one that rolled out on Tuesday, are expected to stay in operation for decades. 

And the 747s are due for another turn in the spotlight a few years from now: Two 747 jets that had been built for a now-defunct Russian airline are currently being converted for presidential Air Force One service, with delivery set for the 2026-2028 time frame.
