For decades she's been dubbed "queen of the skies" and now it's official. The last Boeing 747 to ever be produced traced the shape of a crown in the sky as she made her maiden flight.
Cargo operator Atlas Air took delivery of the jumbo jet on Tuesday.
The aircraft left Boeing's plant in Everett, Washington, and flew to Cincinnati the following day.
During the seven-hour flight, the pilots took the chance to "draw" the crown in the sky, along with a "747" nested within the shape.
The special flight plan had been shared in advance by John Dietrich, Atlas CEO, at the handover ceremony.
Taking off at 7.49am from Everett, according to the flight tracker FlightAware, the jumbo tacked southeast and then eastwards before starting the maneuver about half an hour in, tracing the crown and the "747" in the air over Washington State, southwest of Spokane.
It was performed at an altitude of just under 18,000 feet, at speeds of around 180-390 mph, according to FlightAware.
The aerial ballet took around two and a half hours.
The aircraft landed at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport at 5.51pm.
Captain Tom Vize, Atlas Air's 747 fleet captain, who flew the plane alongside Captain Joe Masone, told CNN some of the maneuvers were so tricky that the computer had refused to plot them.
"The computer couldn't do them that tight, so we had to improvise, and it turned out great," he said.
Vize, who called the flight "very emotional," said that the idea "came at the last minute."
"It was an iconic [moment] for Atlas, but also for the world, so we wanted to find a way to share it with the world."
