Not Many 747's Now
Got this whilst out in the sunshine today, a freighter with AirLux on way from the U.S. to Luxembourg.

Always remember my first flight to the Philippines, Philippine Airlines 747. I think it was a 747/0, rattled, creaking, taking off from an intermediate airport there was a wave of water came out of the cool drawer containing Coke cans etc in the galley and the water ran along the walkway

I am quite surprised they are being fazed out, I thought they were the back bone of passenger flight.

My "usual" holiday flight (from Norwich) is now using the 737MAX under its "new" name (737-8). Hopefully, all the "niggles" will have been ironed out by the time that I am confident enough to sit in a confined space with 200 people again!
