Boeing 747

Photos from my current 'office'; the Boeing 747-400 and 747-8. The 4-engined beast from Seattle.
A fantastic machine and close to a flying piece of art.

Thanks for giving us a view most, heck nearly all of us would not get a chance to see. Wonderfully well photographed.

Une découverte très inintéressante de l'univers du cultissime 747 de Boeing.
On sent "le vécu".
