Wanting to brag about it might apply let's say for the first Virgin Galactic flight.
There's been plenty of short flights on B747s before. Repositioning flights taking passengers, and others.
It's only a sentimental thing remembering the originals which I flew on and that will never be repeated anyway as we are dealing with different aircraft and a different airline which is no more BOAC (or BEA) but British Airways/Iberia.
The final final British Airways 747 fight will be a lot more important in my opinion than any of these 3 flights.
