It is sad to know that seeing the 747 flying overhead is now rare, at best. I remember being a young boy in the very late 60's and into the 70's in Suffolk County on Long Island seeing the newly minted 747 flying outbound from or inbound to JFK. I was so taken with the sight of this new, beautiful aircraft gracing the sky above me. In the 4 decades since then I have never lost that feeling when seeing the 747, actually seeing for the first time, very recently, Air Force One flying low and slow on a left downwind to runway 10L at KFLL. I looked up at just the right time and realized my mouth was wide open in amazement of the beautiful sight I was lucky enough to be seeing.

Hmmmm...I flew SW just under 2 weeks ago. The plane I was to fly in was taken OOS when it arrived at my departing airport. As a result my flight was delayed 3 hours while we waited for another plane to arrive from another state. I wonder if this had anything to do with it?

That is the most beautiful thing I've seen today and it is the end of the day.

Back in the mid to late 70s, I lived in a town on Long Island, in Suffolk County, that was under 1 of the approaches to JFK. From time to time I would look up and see 1 of these beautiful, majestic aircraft, still at several thousand feet, inbound. It was a sight that I will never forget.
