FINAL DELIVERY

FINAL DELIVERY: Boeing has officially delivered its last 747, bringing to a close more than a half century of production. The final freighter version of the aircraft was handed over to Atlas Air Worldwide at a ceremony held at the Everett factory, in the US state of Washington. The event was attended by thousands of people, including some of those Boeing employees who designed and built the first jumbo jet in 1967 and which became known as the ‘Queen of the Skies’. The factory went on to produce 1 574 airplanes over the life of the 747 programme. Photograph: Boeing
