@ San Francisco International Airport, CA
September 2014
This sight of a United jumbo jet at SFO will not be repeated, here or anywhere else. Since the January 2017 announcement by United to phase out the 747, the swan song was a last revenue flight of the type on November 7, 2017. Over 47 years of service, United’s fleet of 747 aircraft numbered 88 in total spread out over four variants. December 2017 marked the end of passenger service with 747s on any U.S. carrier.
