Queen of the Skies - for how long?
Another post referred to delays in delivery of the QF A380s and it got me thinking about the gradual disappearance of the 747 - the "Queen of the Skies" - from our part of the world (Brisbane). These days when I see a 747 overhead Brisbane it causes me to stop and watch because there's a feeling that history is passing before me, and my vehicle to many great experiences around the world is, like me, ageing. I know there's a lot still plying the skies in Oz and around the world but I'm wondering how much longer this icon will be around in any numbers. Any thoughts on this from ppruners who would know?
Cheers
