A Good Run

Boeing has produced its last 747 after more than fifty years since the first. Designed in the 1960s, the first one flew for Pan Am in 1970. The 1574th came off the assembly line in December of last year and will fly in revenue service early this year for Atlas Air (source).

I ran across this image in my slides, one built for Trans World Airlines, and thought I should share. It’s been a good, long run of an iconic design. One image by Richard Koenig; taken in 1979.

The first Lockheed Constellations went to the US Army Air Forces towards the end of the Second World War as high speed transports designated C-69s. The civilian designation for them postwar was the Lockheed 049 Constellation and they were the first generation of Lockheed's curvaceously elegant propliners (followed by the L-749, then L-1049 Super Constellation and L-1649 Starliner). "The Star of Switzerland”, after flying with the military, joined TWA's fleet in 1948 and flew with the airline until 1964. She's been on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson since 1980 and of the surviving Lockheed Constellations, is the only surviving one originally built as a C-69 for the military. #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #PimaAirandSpaceMuseum #Pima #Tucson #DavisMonthan #Arizona #airport #planespotting #instaplane #instagramaviation #Lockheed #L049 #Constellation #TWA #TransWorldAirlines #splendid_transport #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Pima Air & Space Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ulZ8JB2x0/?igshid=n11yk4c1cpkk
