It is the 747 Jumbo jets 40th anniversary, worth taking note of I think after its impact on the 20th century.

Re: 747 40th anniversary
I was surprised to read that they had in the past considered stretching the top deck all the way back to create a double decker, I just assumed that the minimal stretch they did apply on later models had some kind of limit that stopped them going all the way.
Interesting to read the high points of the Jumbo's life
