Why the Sun is setting on the Boeing 747

Aircraft as work of art

As a young child, I adored the shape of the 747. I would try to draw its curves, and collect pictures of it. I remember being annoyed that an aeroplane book I had only contained a picture of the 747-SP , which was too short and stumpy. I didn't like the newer "stretched" models either, they spoiled its lines. :-)
