Such a remarkable plane for its time. It came into this world with a lot of uncertainty but has truly changed aviation. It has gone on for years as the queen of the skies and I hope in 50 years we will see her flying.

Think about this, Modern Economy class may never exist if Pan-Am and 747 didn't drive the ticker price down.

They will look great basking in the sun in the desert. Modern, more comfortable, more economical aircraft have taken their place. Rust in peace. Who knows, the next Coke you drink may have been a wing or tail?
