Delta Air Lines’ Farewell Tour of its 747 airplane, known as queen of the skies for its wide-body size and comfort, will make a stop at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) this week.
The 747 is expected to land before 10 a.m. Wednesday, when Delta employees, members of the media and invited guests can Tour the Boeing jumbo jet that made its first flight in 1969.
Angelenos who want to see the aircraft should visit the free Flight Path Museum & Learning Center (6661 W. Imperial Highway) between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thursday.
Its last scheduled 747 flight flew from Seoul, Korea, to Detroit, Mich., earlier this week.
The plane, with what Delta calls a “whale hump” formed by the profile of its upper deck (once sold as posh “penthouse” seats with dedicated servers), made long-haul flights more affordable.
