If you can cast your mind back to 1969 and the introduction of the 747? How many airports around the world had to be modified to accept the overweight?, underpowered early version. I remember a Pan Am 747 flying very low over the Berkshire countryside in 1970. How times have changed. Didn't runways and taxiways also have to be strengthened to take the 747?
