There may be no airliner as recognizable as the @boeing 747, the world’s first jumbo jet. For aviation fans, the introduction of the “Queen of the Skies” in 1970 was a triumph of engineering and grace. But the airline business has changed, and the giant plane has become more expensive to operate. A couple of weeks ago, the final #boeing747 flight by any commercial U.S. airline (@デルタ航空) took to the sky, with the photographer @dustchambers on board. Like so many others before it, the plane was heading to the Southwest to retire. “I’m going to cry before today is over,” said Rebecca Johnson, a flight attendant on board. “It’s just part of aviation history.” 4 hours after takeoff, the jet was circling above cotton fields in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, preparing to make its final approach to Pinal Airpark, where airplanes are stored long term. Even if an airplane has outlived its useful flying life, its components and metal from the fuselage can almost always find another application. The dry air at Pinal Airpark prevents major corrosion, so their parts can be used to help keep other planes flying. Here, @dustchambers photographed a Trans World Airline #747 at Pinal. Swipe left to see photos of the #Delta 747’s last flight — which included a wedding in the sky. #✈️
