The final 747 delivery

The delivery of N863GT marks the final 747 to fly away from Everett after 1,574 747s came off the production line. From the first 747-100 to the shortened 747SP to the most successful variant, the 747-400, to the final 747-8, Boeing’s most iconic work has exited the building at Paine Field. The building will now be repurposed for 787 rework and a fourth final assembly line for the 737 MAX.

While this is the last delivery, the 747 will be around for decades to come, flying passengers between airline hubs and cargo all around the world.

Atlas Air will put this particular 747-8F into service carrying cargo for Apexlogistics. The second to last 747 also delivered to Atlas Air is flying for Apex’s parent company Kuehne + Nagel.
