End of the line: Boeing 747

The Boeing 747 (also known as the "Queen of the skies") is a plane that revolutionised air travel. The 747 has many variants: 747-100, 747-200, 747-300, 747-400 and 747-800. The first 747-100 entered into service with Pan American on January 22, 1970, and the latest variant of the 747, the 747-800 entered into service on March 20, 2011, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. After about 50 years, the 747 production is likely about to end. On July 2, 2020, media reports state that Boeing considers ending 747 productions in 2022 once it delivers the remaining jets on order to UPS and the Volga-Dnepr Group as The demand for four-engine airliners has been flat for several years. I know that this is a sad moment for all aviation enthusiasts but it was bound to happen some time or another.
