The @BoeingAirplanes 747’s 50th anniversary is this month! Take a look back at our vintage aircraft livery. We retired the last of our classic 747s in January 2009. The classics helped us expand our global air network. ✈️ #WhyILoveThe747 #avgeeks https://t.co/8wdg7hsiJK

Happy 100 to @British_Airways and welcome to the centennial club! Be sure to check out this 747 in original BOAC livery. Our team saw it in person and says it looks as good today as it did in 1969. #WhyILoveThe747 #BA100 https://t.co/07utKS8Im9

Looking good, even after logging 57 billion nautical miles which is equivalent to 137,293 trips from the Earth to the moon and back! Check out this interactive #Boeing747 from the 747-100 to today's 747-8: https://t.co/gYBCu3B3im #WhyILoveThe747 https://t.co/wQD7leH3oK

#WhyILoveThe747 the one and only Queen of the Skies. As a passenger she induces a sense of awe and adoration. A beautiful aircraft despite her size. Long may she reign!

#WhyILoveThe747 I flew the 747 from Chicago to Beijing several years ago on United Airlines. The large plane was wonderful with IFE and the Zune music streaming on the 747. It also had Channel 9 audio

Because Pan Am was the launch customer for the Boeing 747, Pan Am had incredible influence in the design and the development of a truly remarkable aircaft that changed the world of air travel for the masses. #WhyILoveThe747 #FlyPanAm https://t.co/Ya01XpzSlE

The Boeing 747. Pan Am’s president @JuanTTrippe asked the @Boeing company to build an airliner that would carry twice the capacity of a Boeing 707. Boeing did and the deal was sealed on a handshake. Pan Am then ordered 25 and received its first one in 1969. #WhyILoveThe747 https://t.co/6Lhgl4jYhO

Nicknamed the Queen of the Skies, the 747-100 made its first test flight on 9 Feb, 1969. It was the first plane with two aisles and the first commercial use of the high bypass turbofan engine. It allowed more people to fly further and faster than ever before #WhyILoveThe747 https://t.co/X2eIssTnis

@BoeingAirplanes When we lived in Everett, Washington, I'd take my young son to Payne Field and wave goodbye to all the shiny new 747s that took off from there to fly to their new airline homes. #WhyILovethe747

@BoeingAirplanes #WhyILoveThe747 It took me to Narita so many times from Vancouver, bridging the pacific sized gap in my family

The first 747 was the result of the work of more than 50,000 Boeing employees. Pioneering in construction and engineering, they made aviation history. But, do you know what they were affectionately called? #WhyILoveThe747

I have no reason. I just love her. #WhyILoveThe747 https://t.co/8s1aq284MH

#WhyILoveThe747 My first flight ever was on an Air India 747 from Madras to Bombay (enroute to US) on September 8th, 1988. I terribly miss the #Queenoftheskies. She was Regal. Please make Her more fuel efficient and bring Her back, thank you #Boeing for the precious memories!

#WhyILoveThe747 the first memory I have of flying is on board the upper deck of a @united 747 at Osaka Kansai

#WhyILoveThe747 Because! Just look at her 😍 the one, true and only #QueenOfTheSkies https://t.co/8ZytaFpd8Y

@BoeingAirplanes It has got a lots of different design. I love boeing and i want to be plane engineer in boeing. I love b-787 dreamliner too but 747 is different it has got history.✈️ #Lufthansa #WhyILoveThe747 https://t.co/HruMTnlZHS

@BoeingAirplanes #WhyILoveThe747 Summed it up in 4 photos, wasn't easy to pick just 4 but managed it eventually! Such a great looking aircraft and one I'll never get tired of seeing! https://t.co/hsw5MSQySQ

This imposing view... When you look at it from the side, in the metal, it looks fast. But also, it's incredulous that it would fly at all. That's why, when it does that thing at takeoff, that slow-mo ~320km/h lift; it's really writing poetry. #WhyILoveThe747

#WhyILoveThe747 It is the reason I fell in love with aviation truely elegant

#WhyILoveThe747 4歳で初めて見て一目惚れしました 二階席部分の膨らみとか、それのおかげで尖ったように見えるノーズとかのフォルムが好きです！大型機なのにスマートなのが格好よさの塊 https://t.co/nWow5s1rdy

#WhyILoveThe747 Beauty of takeoff and landing no any other aircraft can replace the flying art of B747. https://t.co/mnT1jzvI5U

#WhyILoveThe747 Because the plane is iconic... Because it is a charm to fly... Because it is simple and reliable... Because few pilots today can say « I flew with a mechanic « ... And maybe because it first flew just a few days after I was born... 😉

No doubt it’s a queen of sky. #WhyILoveThe747 I love that aircraft working as an engineer , certification before flight, towing the plane when sitting on CAPT seat and sitting as passenger in zone A , great feelings can’t explain those feelings

@BoeingAirplanes #whyilovethe747 because it was more comfortable than the 380 for me and i love the Queen of the Sky 😍

I love the 747 because it made me get into the world of aviation when I was very young, thanks to my fathers work as a Boeing employee at Everett. Now, my dream is to become a pilot or an air traffic controller. 🛫 #WhyILoveThe747

#WhyILoveThe747 The last flight of #CathayPacific #Queenoftheskies to North America touching down at SFO on 8/31/2014. I flew on B-HUG twice. Loved sitting in seat 68K and watching those magnificent wings flex on takeoff. https://t.co/sHA0Rmu7ls

After all these years, I still go weak in the knees when I see it lifting off the runway. In December 2018, I took my final flights on the ‘Queen’ on #Qantas 27/28 SYD/SCL/SYD. I had tears in my eyes 😢when I disembarked #WhyILoveThe747

As a 9 yo boy in a small town in rural NH, I got the “PanAm’s 747” Viewmaster as an Xmas gift. I watched those slides over and over, dreaming, day after day. My wanderlust was ignited. Since, anytime I see a 747–in flight or on the tarmac—I sigh fulfilled. #WhyILoveThe747

#WhyILoveThe747, Because I flew the -200 and -400. 😍 https://t.co/RUWGg3cieO

That track record 😍 Privileged to have worked on them and their beautiful RB211 engines. #WhyILoveThe747

@BoeingAirplanes The beautiful symphony of those massive RB211 engines. Music to the ears #WhyILoveThe747

We're four days from celebrating the Queen's Golden Jubilee! 50 years of flight, billions of miles and passengers flown! The penultimate example of "if it looks right, it'll fly right"! Bravo, @BoeingAirplanes ! #whyilovethe747 We miss you, Joe. ♥ https://t.co/Ro0nZv3hYg

Hey @BoeingAirplanes #WhyILoveThe747 From the “bubble” in the front, to the smaller SP version, to the -400’s Winglets to the 8’s new wing design! It’s not the same ‘ol one engine under each wing aircraft! She’s got Character!!

No need to explain, l simply love it! #WhyILoveThe747 #QueenOfTheSkies

@BoeingAirplanes #WhyILoveThe747 because it is one of the most iconic planes ever built that I dreamt of riding since I was a kid but never got the chance to. Still a dream... 😊 #boeing #boeing747 #dream #queenoftheskies #iconic

#WhyILoveThe747 I love the 747 because of how iconic it is and for how much of an impact it has made on the industry. On top of that, she is a HUGE beauty.

Por eso y por muchas cosas más, el 747 es mi primer amor, éste avión hizo que me enamorara de la aviación, el avión que por más de 39 años sostuvo el título del avión más grande del mundo y que lleva más de 50 años surcando los cielos... Ay cómo lo amo ♥️ #WhyILoveThe747

Ever since I was a lad I always thought the 747 was the coolest jet around. Iconic & just Rock n Roll. Awesome in a nutshell..#WhyILoveThe747

#WhyILoveThe747 My very few 747, all 400’s, flights were ALL remarkable, especially when seated aft. You discover that the 747 is a very happy aircraft. On 3 TATL flights the aircraft contentedly wagged their huge tails all the way across... it was like being rocked to sleep. 👏

波音747五十歲了！.On September 30, 1968, the first 747 rolled out of the Everett assembly building..After 50 years, the 747 is still the "Queen of the Skies”. Its elegant hump of double deck, and its huge wing and engines are still unique, significant, fashionable features, which other widebody jets later haven’t succeeded..🛫.Happy birthday RA001 @ Mus...

#WhyILoveThe747 Such a great experience, so versatile and iconic! Can't imagine the skies without the true queen of aviation! https://t.co/j7QFAAL9QU

Story Time:I was born and raise in Portugal but being half Dutch meant that in my childhood I flew a lot between these two countries. Ever since I saw my first Queen of the Skies, a.k.a @klm ’s 747, at Schiphol, I knew that one day I had to fly with that plane! If I am not mistaken, I think that by 2020 @klm will stop flying with these airplanes....

@BoeingAirplanes #whyilovethe747 it was the first bloody plane with TWO aisles (I think).
