Boeing has turned the event into a kind of family reunion: Thousands made the pilgrimage to the Everett plant in Washington state on Tuesday to be there when the American aircraft manufacturer built its last ever 747 handed over to the cargo airline Atlas Air. Of course, Lufthansa boss Carsten Spohr did not miss this appointment either. He, too, wanted to stand in front of this marvel of technology one last time with his colleagues and at the same time the glorious history of more than 50 years of Boeing 747 Think about it again.
