🇺🇸 The Museum of Flight in Seattle: The World's First Boeing 747 🛫

If aviation enthusiasts visiting Seattle can only check out one place, I'd unhesitatingly choose the world's first Boeing 747 preserved at The Museum of Flight! 🏛️💖 ✈️ In the 1960s, with the global demand for air travel soaring, Boeing unveiled its first wide-body jetliner, the 747. With its colossal size and iconic upper-deck "hump," the 747 became one of the most recognizable aircraft worldwide. It sparked a revolution in air travel and marked a significant milestone in the evolution of aviation design! 🌍✨ The first 747 on display at the museum, also known as RA001, served for years as a testbed for technological development and new engine projects for other Boeing commercial aircraft after completing its 747 certification tests, including the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 for the Boeing 777. 🧪🚀 Its final flight took place on April 6, 1995, after logging 5,300 flight hours, before Boeing officially donated RA001 to the museum. 🎁🛬 The most intriguing part is the first-version 747 concept design model in Photo 17. Me: "Isn't this just an A380?" 😂🤣 #Seattle #SeattleMuseums #TheMuseumOfFlightSeattle 🏟😅
