Sad to see them go. They've been around all my life. Every kid knows or knew what a jumbo jet was. I had toys that looked like them, big cartoon airplanes always looked like them. You knew if you were flying far that you'd probably be in on. I'd still love to be able to take one more flight in one.

If you like them Joe Sutter's 747 book is worth reading, And I'm not a big book reader.
