Even before Boeing's 747 flew its first passengers back in 1970, the world knew this was something special. And from day one, the Anderson family has quite literally had their hands on nearly every single 747 built, working on the production line in Everett, Washington

Nostalgic! While I believe 70 is the new 30, as a Jig Fabricator in the Renton plant, recall working on the two 737 prototypes, and modeling the 747 and SST (remember those?). Now, a few miles away at Pima Air Park those old 747s airframes are being refitted as amazingly luxurious air palaces for folks who make more $$$ than we do.
