"Philippine 105 Heavy" starts her last taxi out to Manila. I told the pilots I would miss the 747, and they said "We'll miss her too. We'll miss her a lot".

Today, Cathay Pacific did their last long-haul 747 flight HKG-SFO-HKG but I missed it by sleeping for 12 hours. I really needed the sleep so I'm Ok with that. Air New Zealand retires their last 747 on September 10th from San Francisco to Auckland. Here's another 747 shot from this week, I'll really miss these things. I do already.
