EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history. Taken on January 13,1970, it showcases the aircrew of the first commercial flight of the iconic Boeing 747 from New York to London for Pan American Airways. The image is a testament to the significance of this groundbreaking aircraft that revolutionized long-haul travel. The photograph takes us back to September 30,1968, when the world eagerly awaited as the very first Boeing 747 was unveiled at Everett assembly building. Representatives from 26 airlines who had ordered this marvel were present alongside international press. After its maiden flight on February 9,1969, it didn't take long for this colossal plane nicknamed "Jumbo Jet" to make its mark. On January 21,1970, with much anticipation and excitement in the air, Pan Am's New York-London route welcomed the inaugural service of this magnificent aircraft. This family picture immortalizes not only the plane itself but also those who made it all possible - an ensemble of flight attendants and pilots proudly posing together. As we gaze upon this square-shaped print featuring a grounded Boeing 747 surrounded by its dedicated aircrew members dressed in their timeless uniforms, we are transported back to an era where dreams took flight and boundaries were shattered. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far aviation has come since that monumental day captured through AFP's lens.
