Boeing 747 Prototype

A new era in aviation started when this very aircraft took to the air in 1969. Museum of flight volunteer and artifact hunter Bob Bogash reminds us why 747 #1 is a 20th century icon.

My Dad invented and had installed the weighing/CG mechanism for the 707 and 747. (He went to MIT...)

I lived airplanes as a kid. Now I fly the heavy iron...

Love to all, and DEATH to tyranny, be it in the Brussels Politburo or anywhere else...

Great video! Very interesting. Actually the first 747 made! That's awesome. I hope that they will keep it for history's sake and not send it to any bone yard in the Mojave.
