Having flown in several 727s and other smaller planes as a yute I was absolutely gobsmacked when I stepped into my first 747 in September of '71.Since then I've flown a million (plus) miles,many of them international and most of them in 747s.
Although I've flown the A380 a few times (a nice aircraft to be sure) the 747 always has been,and always *will* be,the Queen of the Skies.
“the Queen of the Skies.”
Uh-oh! Another one of them there sexists, huh? ;-)
