I read some history of the 747 in some random magazine recently. It highlighted the massive change that the aircraft had on the industry.
Then today while I was wandering in a Levi´s outlet store in Miami, I saw that Levi´s had this poster that went on about how classic their product was. They said that if a time capsule was done to show off the best of the last century, there would be some reference to the internet, a photo of the moon landing, a Beatles album, and a pair of Levi´s. I would say that you would have to chuck in a 747 too
And they keep getting better.
747 Intercontinental = absolute beauty.
