747 Classic by Michael
Rondot. British Airways Boeing 747-200 at the moment of lift-off on a sunny
winter afternoon at the start of another intercontinental flight. In
British Airways service the 747-200 and its older sister the 747-100 are
known affectionately as the 747 'Classic'. 'Classic' by name and 'Classic'
by nature the 747-200 has served British Airways since entering service in
1977, for many years providing the backbone of the company's longhaul
fleet. An aircraft which has seen service in nearly every corner of the
globe, the 747-200 has the range to fly from London Heathrow to Hong Kong
non-stop, and features a three class cabin seating up to 382 passengers.
With a wingspan of almost 60 metres and a maximum take-off weight of
nearly 372 metric tonnes, 'Jumbo' is a very appropriate nickname.
