So AF is bidding goodbye to the Jumbo Jet with a tribute flight (AF747, naturally) over France on 14 Jan 2016.

At the same time, there is a microsite tracing AF's "history, its professions, its fleet, its network and the attention it has always paid to its customers."
It made me think of SIA's Farewell 747 flight, together with the (now-defunct) siajourneys.com microsite. I miss that site, but even more, SIA's B744 Megatops!

I had many memories of the Megatops growing up as a child. Every long haul flight to/from SFO was only flown by a 744 til 2010. As much I miss these so much, the 77W is still my favorite. The A380 (Emirates) just doesn't do good for me, as there are many reasons I don't prefer it over the 77W.

Rather ironic that on the day this was posted I bumped into another SQTalker who I was on SQ747/8 with who was on the same flight as me again who then bumped into another SQTalker from SQ747/8 at Changi who was on his connecting flight.
It can be a small world at times.
