I'm a retired engineer from Boeing last year. I did a lot of design on the 747-400 and flew on it a lot to Frankfurt and London over the years on business. 1st class on the -400 is really something! I'm 6' 4" and there is plenty of seat room. I've also flown on the -200 but the thrust of the -400 is incredible. I miss seeing them fly over home here like they used to all the time. I'm near Everett where it/was built. The twins are nice and efficient but there is something about seeing 4 contrails trailing a jet at cruise elevation. Bye Queen, it was an honor.
