The Boeing Company hit a bitter-sweet milestone today: the final 747, number 1,574 rolled out of Boeing’s facility at Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field (KPAE) in Everett, Washington.
The 747 has been in production since September 1968.
The last 747 has left our Everett factory ahead of delivery to Atlas Air in early 2023.
