For now, I am a member of a small (but hopefully growing club). I have stepped aboard 747 #1, and I've also stepped aboard 747 #1574. Long may she fly.

You can draw genitalia or crowns in the sky, but you can't find runway 4L. Imagine what it would look like flown by hand.

As an ex-private pilot, I'd really like to know how the flight management system was programmed to make that perfect logo in the sky over Washington State. The flight following software shows the B747 flew a rigid set of programmed waypoints without distraction from wind or other variables that might have changed the meeting points in the exercise. Really remarkable!
