[Dave Blake]

GE Aviation’s original Boeing 747 Flying Testbed aircraft made its final flight last week, from Victorville, California, to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona, where it will join more than 350 historical aircraft on display. The aircraft, which had been flying since 1969, was the oldest 747 in active service. Starting in 1970, the aircraft flew for Pan American World Airlines, and in 1992, it was acquired by GE Aviation, and actively flew test flights until January 2017. The 747 flew a total of 90,000 hours.
