Boeing 747 celebrates 40th anniversary; Heathrow the place to see them
The Boeing 747 made its first test flight 40 years ago this February before entering commercial service in January 1970. Since then over 1,400 747s of different configurations have been produced. Although production is still continuing all of the recently delivered aircraft (just 14 in 2008) are freighter versions of the aircraft.
