I'm so happy my last flight was on a 747. It's truly stunning if you haven't flown on one before.

I also had the pleasure of visiting the C17 plant in Long Beach. Blew. My. Mind.

The first plane I flew on was a 747, so the whole experience was novel. I was 12, and the captain invited me to the flight deck as we were over Greenland.

I think my first and only time on an A380 might be comparable. It was huge! And so spacious, and so quiet. (Lufthansa.)
