My first sight of the majestic 747 was when I was having a good ol punch up with my best friend out in the school yard after school. It was a silly disagreement and not even over a girl. We stopped punching each other when the 747 came into view making its approach. That was a sight to remember. After it passed we carried on, I won, I think but i busted a little finger so I think i actually lost as his nose remained intact. Eric if you are reading this.. I'm sorry really !
It has been my favorite plane all these decades. Happy to have flown numerous times in the 747 SP, 200, 300, and of course the 400. Have yet to try the 800. Sad i may never get to fly the A380 because they are being grounded left and right. The A380 never really de-throned the true ruler---the Queen !
