A great opening post, Robert; the picture says it all.

 

There's a two-story "docu-tainment" around on YT and broadcast by various TV stations about Mr. Sutter and "his" B747. It actually provides some insight about those two great characters.

Probably the most admired machine of all time.  What a great legacy to leave behind.

I have never seen a sexiest plane in the aviation history than the 747, above all her peculiar way way to take off, seen from the front. Her elegance is still today second to no one.
