Now the last Boeing 747-8 freighter, now painted and ready to officially take flight, will be delivered to Atlas Air on Tuesday. It’s considered the plane that changed travel around the world. Artist Jeff Barlow was a child when the 747 came out. “I look at it and I am just drawn to it,” Barlow said.

Now sitting under Boeing’s first Super Jet, Barlow has been sketching the last 747 for Boeing as it prepares for delivery. "It's my favorite plane in the whole world," Barlow said. Seattle Museum of flight docent Thomas Gray remembered watching the 747’s first test flight. “You suddenly see a huge mass in the air, it was unbelievable,” Gray said. More than 50 years later, Gray guides museum-goers through this massive plane, telling the history of how she came to be. “It was an incredible story,” Gray said.
