Today marks the 40th anniversary of the first Boeing 747’s roll off the assembly line. It continues to taunt me to this day, denying me a ride upstairs, but I’ll get there eventually.
Check out the logos on the nose. How many can you recognize? Of carriers that no longer exist?
I definitely see Delta, Continental and Eastern in there.

PanAM logo to the very right near the nose? And a bit further left TWA next to Eastern?
Since I discovered FT, I've crossed the Atlantic probably six to eight times on the upper deck of the 747. It's definitely very nice. Just the other day I "discovered" almost with sadness that my upcoming trip next week to Japan will not let me enjoy the UD, since I booked a saver F award. Maybe I'll find someone to trade? 😉
