The Last 747 Built
The 1,574th and final 747 to leave Boeing's factory — still working
Tail number N863GT
The story
Line number 1,574 — the final Boeing 747 ever built, handed to Atlas Air in January 2023 and the end of a production run that started in 1967. Hundreds of 747s are still flying; this is the one that closed the factory door behind them. She isn't in a museum. She's a working freighter, crossing oceans on cargo schedules like the 1,573 before her, which is exactly how the Queen of the Skies would want to go out.
Boeing hid a tribute in her livery: a silhouette of Joe Sutter, the engineer who led the original 747 design team in the 1960s.
