It’s Sunday, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
This week, we celebrate 50 years since the rollout of the Boeing 747 with some of the Boeing 747’s I’ve captured at Economy Class and Beyond.

With 50 years of the Boeing 747, the type still continues to fly with various airlines around the world – be it as a passenger aircraft, but more commonly as a cargo carrying beast, taking cargo across the world.
As airlines move away from the Queen of the Sky to the efficient twins, we’ll see the Boeing 747 in the sky for some years to come.
And if you made it to the bottom – here’s the collage.
