I may have slightly over spoken. This thread tells the tale of the end of 747 passenger service in the US.

I haven’t been on an Airbus 350 yet, but I distinctly remember my first flight on a 747. Now planes are just transportation appliances, but at one point I knew the ins and outs of each type of plane being flown.
