Boeing has officially bid farewell to its beloved it's 7 47 jet,
more than half a century since the original
aircraft launched a new era of air travel.
The last 7 47 left the factory in Everett Washington this afternoon,
Boeing has built more than 1500 of these massive planes in the last 54 years.
It's known as the queen of the skies, helping to bring air travel to the masses,
But it's recently been overshadowed by smaller, more efficient aircraft.
And while no more 7:47 will be made,
they're still taking flight so you could find yourself boarding
one of these iconic jets on your next trip.
