And thanks OP for the pictures and video - only thing missing was audio of the rumble of takeoff.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

I remember my first UA 747 ride: LAX-LHR in 1990. I was op-up'd to Connoisseur Class and was so thrilled. There were caviar appetizers and Godiva chocolates!

My last UA 747 ride was a few months ago from HKG-SFO.

I am sad to see the Queen of the Skies leave us.

Japan Says Sayonara to United’s 747

Daryl Chua - 3 hours ago - June 15, 2017

I would often see her as the fight departure times are almost the same as my usual Air Canada flights from NRT.

Here she is arriving a few months back. I was out on the NRT observation deck

Several years ago when Eva Airways was retiring it's last 747 Combi, they gave everyone a nice certificate honoring the last flight. It would be nice for United to do something.
