Boeing's iconic 747 will leave the assembly line for the last time this year. See one of last jumbo jets the planemaker will ever build.

 

By the end of 2022, the last three 747 aircraft to ever be produced will roll out of Boeing's factory in Everett, Washington.

 

All three planes, which are 747-8 freighters, are scheduled to go to US cargo carrier Atlas Air. The deliveries will mark the end of an era and a close to one of the most incredible aviation programs in history.

That is so sad. Excuse me while I cry over this for a bit. I'm a «flight fan» for the longest time, and I've always been amazed whenever I saw a 747, either at the airport, or in the air. To me it's a beautiful sight. (Of course, not as beautiful as a robin, which causes a lot less damage if it crashes...) I remember the first time I saw one on the ground at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, and thought, "Nah. It's too big. It'll never get off the ground!" I never flew in one, but I'll miss them.

I used to fly on the "Queen" many times. 

It's a bit noisy plane, but hey... safety over noise right? 

Somehow I felt more secure with 4 engine planes. 

I don't like how industry is switching to 2 engine and smaller bodies planes (feels less secure) 

But, that's just me.

I wonder what is worse? Being in this plane or OD on chocolate?

The last 747 has rolled off the assembly line! But they're still going to be gracing the skies for a few more years.
