Sad but true, the old tart (747) is on the way out. Our lot finish in March 2011 and then the desert. Victorville the final destination. The Company had 44 when I joined, now down to 9. The latest rummour is Lufthansa may even cancel the 747-8. Every walk-around now feels like living history. I even gave her a little pat yesterday (when nobody was looking). Last flight to SYD now extended to 31st Jan. I do the 30th, suppose a 'buzz and break' is out of the question?
