Photo of the Day: Lufthansa salutes the Boeing 747
Lufthansa announced on social media: Jumbo turns 50 tomorrow! The world’s first “smiling” Boeing Airplanes was the freighter Boeing 747-230F, taken on by Lufthansa in 1972. Nickname: “Beetle Swallower”, as it had space for 72 VW Beetles. (worldairlinenews.com) 更多...

I flew on one from Honolulu to San Francisco in 1972 to be discharged from the Marine Corps. What a wonderful aircraft.
Was you a "Ridge Runner" from HMR 161 ?
747, you're the beauty of the skies!
Great photo. I remember when they first flew. I've ridden on 47's and 97s but not on 747s. I wouldn't hesitate to build a home inside a retired one.
Though I’ve been flying since the 707 was the “workhorse “ of most fleets, I’ve never had the chance to be on a 747, and as the fleets are retired, possible I won’t get to.
But I can admire the beauty. There are more advanced aircraft, larger, more efficient birds, but - while the Concorde was the most futuristic plane I also never flew on, the 747 is, in my humble opinion, the most graceful and instantly recognized commercial jet of all time.
(I’ll leave a little weasel room for my similar infatuation with the Lockheed Constellation)
Wonderful picture and a H/T to Lufthansa for making it possible.

Hello I also flown in many aircraft. and to me the Boeing 767 was the smoothest ride of them all. Take off a special.
Love Lufthansa salute to 747....Still my favorite plane as a passenger on long haul flights. Sorry to see it go....
