Arguably the finest airliner ever built.

Had the unmitigated privilege to fly Singapore Air 747’s a number of times San Francisco to Singapore and return.

The Sing Air 747’s in Biz was outstanding and one trip got bumped up to 1st which was superb, maybe even better.

I worked on the 747-400 and 747-200F line in Everett Wa. for three and a half years.(4230FA) I would still be with Boeing if I would have had a little more union time. Best job I ever had!

The 747 was developed at the same time a lot of people thought SSTs were the future. The 747 was the future not SSTs.

Except for that problem with the center tank fuel explosions. {sarcasm off}
