The last 747 rolled out of Everett tonight.

[ASpilot2be]

not quite. Not to be pit Nicky, but 1995 was the year for the triple 7. If I didn’t say something, @Maximilian_Jenius would have. LOL!

But how much gas does it hold?

So what's that building going to be used for now?

Last time I was there it was mostly empty

A Spirit Halloween

It's the same factory as the other wide-bodies. Probably a 777x line if it ever gets certified.

I got to tour the Everett Plant back in 2018 (before covid shut down tours there). I believe it was 747-8 (we looked at one in work that was going to be delivered to UPS), 777X, 787 (the non-Charleston ones) and KC-46. I might be missing some. It’s a big building.

Also they're called engines. Not motors!

Props are for boats and jets are for hot tubs!

I'm getting old, lol. Had a colorectol surgery today. Lately I've found myself scouring Auto Trader for a Gran Turino.

It's also not a throttle.

I used to like you, lol!

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

It'll have to. It has a MTOW of 900,000.....but don't worry, it won't be a "heavy" because it is grandfathered since that extra word would be too taxing for pilots without extra training ($$)

Or pay...

Taps sign?

And Jet A isn't gas? Right? Riiiiggght?

It's fuel.

False, jets are for boats!

So, what is it then? Only ever heard it called a throttle.

 

[ASpilot2be]

On a jet it's a thrust lever.

Thrust lever. As in 'autothrust'.

I think some jets call them throttles, but nothing errr serious. I guess if it's called autothrottles in the 747, amma get roasted.

to be fair, in the jets I flew before this, they were “throttles”. I think it is only in PC fancy jets that we call them thrust levers. I did, maybe for the first time, successfully use the term today when a couple make a wish kids came up into the cockpit…..errrr flight deck

They are thrust levers for the autothrottles on the 74…at least at my shop.

 

[///AMG]

I think maybe we just don't want to stop saying "condition levers", so we got this instead

(yes, I am aware that is an entirely different function)

 

[mikecweb]

Watch the gas when you push the power levers up.
