The iconic ‘queen of the skies’ has reigned supreme for over 50 years. Since its introduction with Pan Am in 1970, the Boeing 747 has found a home with airlines all over the world, and has won the heart of many an avgeek in the process. But, with just 17 aircraft in the production queue and no new orders in 2019, could the production of this beautiful aircraft be soon coming to an end?
