Boeing 747-400 (VH-OEB)

This is not a -200, it is a 747-48E. Originally ordered by Asiana Airlines.

A Queen passing by!

Amazing to review the recent flight dates and hours in the air of this aircraft. This is, like most jumbos and Southwest Airlines aircraft, an aircraft showing very high utilization. This bird appears to spend more time in the air than on the ground, perhaps for its first 15 years, possibly including all the maintenance checks. Definitely the Queen of the Sky for going on for nearly 50 years. That is also maximally impressive in the aviation/airline business!

B747 is still the most elegant plane that soars in the skies !!
