Boeing’s last 747 to roll out of Washington state factory
After more than half a century, Boeing is set to roll its last 747 out of a Washington state factory on Tuesday. The jumbo jet – which has taken on numerous roles as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers and as the Air Force One presidential aircraft – debuted in 1969. It was the largest commercial aircraft in the world and the first with two aisles, and it still towers over most other planes.
