I photographed this Boeing 747 as it landed during an air show at Paine Field in 2012. Even close-up, the new technology engines were considerably quieter than what people are used to hearing from the Jumbos. The Museum of Flight has a special 747 displayed in the new covered Pavilion.
A special 747-123 was operated by NASA to transport Space Shuttles, and is displayed at the Johnson Space Center carrying the Shuttle “Independence”
Boeing 747 N7470 “City of Everett”
The very first of the 747 line. Boeing and NASA used this prototype airframe to conduct various structure and equipment tests.
