Is anybody here going on the November 7th flight?  I'm a little disappointed that I missed out on getting a ticket for this one.

I was on both the last scheduled flight from Korea, and the farewell flight to Honolulu.  They were both amazing!  So sad to see her go, but United retired her in a grand fashion.

N121UA is the last plane to be retired, and she is on her way today to TUP. UAL2691

I’m so jealous.  From the articles I’ve seen it looks like it was indeed a pretty special experience.  I’ve never even flown on a PW powered 747 and that chance is quickly disappearing.

It was pretty cool.  One of the executives from Pratt & Whitney was on board on the upper deck.  They also had the head of the 747 program on board as well.  Everyone received a P&W challenge coin as well as a pin from Boeing as well.

I used to fly UAL before the merger. Now I fly BA mostly so I still get a bunch of miles on the Queen. Especially between Dubai and Miami :-)
