I was wondering when could the 747-400 disappear forever. Many classic airplanes from the past are still flying like the DC-9 or 747 classics. Will the 747-400 be around in 2020 or 2030? Lots of airlines such as JAL, air new zealand etc are retiring them. I am a huge fan of the 747-400 and would be so sad to see it go for good. From 2011 how long will it live for? What year will it go forever. I know that the freight will live longer than the pax so when will the pax go and the freight go?
