The 747 will likely remain like the landmark plane of the late 20th century
I'd the chance to fly aboard a one when returning from touring the USA. It was a Air France one. I was supposed to be back to Europe like I had come, that is through a charter, two-step flight via Iceland. The first leg to Iceland, by then Icelandic Airways however, was told cancelled when I got to JFK, New-York to take the flight. As the night Air France flight had still some seats left, I was for free transferred unto :) and a Custom man of JFK kindly drove me until the stairs. Great! When entering the 747, looked like me, and some other late passengers, were VIPs :):)
