After more than half a century, the last "Queen of the Skies" ever built is
being readied for delivery.

The last Boeing 747 ever built left the company's widebody factory in
Everett, Washington, in the night of December 6, 2022. The world-famous
jumbo jet, dubbed by many as the "Queen of the Skies", is maybe the
most popular plane ever built by Boeing, and has played a key role in
the company's history.

The production of the 747 began in 1967 with the first prototype and,
with this last aircraft, a total of 1,574 airplanes were built. The
aircraft saw a multitude of users and missions throughout its career.
The most iconic one is probably [22]the Air Force One is use by the
President of the United States, based on the Boeing 747-200 and, in
future, the 747-8.

"For more than half a century, tens of thousands of dedicated Boeing
employees have designed and built this magnificent airplane that has
truly changed the world. We are proud that this plane will continue to
fly across the globe for years to come," said Kim Smith, Boeing Vice
President and general manager, 747 and 767 Programs.

There she goes!

The last Boeing 747 is a 747-8 Freighter, which will now fly to another
facility to be painted ahead of the [26]delivery to Atlas Air in early
2023. In 1970, the now defunct Pan Am became the launch customer of the
double-decker jumbo jet, changing forever the way people moved around
the world. Today, only 44 Boeing 747 are still in service in the
passenger variants, while 314 freighter variants are in service.

The passenger variants could carry between 400 to 500 passengers,
depending on the versions, while the latest 747-8 freighter variant can
carry a maximum payload of 307,000 lbs. Specialized variants were built
to [27]transport the Space Shuttle and, more recently, to launch
[28]VirginOrbit's LauncherOne air-launched two-stage orbital launch
vehicle. Another specialized variant was the recently retired [29]747SP
Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) operated by
NASA.

Boeing announced in 2020 that it would end the production of all
variants of the Boeing 747, as clients preferred either the more
fuel-efficient Boeing 777 freighter or converted former 747 passenger
variants as freighters. The company will keep open the facilities in
Everett, Washington, where the 747 was built, but has not yet announced
plans for it.
