Description

In this episode, Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee and Associate Editor Robert Luke are joined by Cargo Facts Consulting Senior Consultant Jim Edgar to discuss the departure of the final 747 to be produced — and the legacy of the large quad-engine jet.

Edgar shares some of his memories from his days at Boeing — including a conversation with the “Father of the 747,” Joe Sutter — and the editors revisit the competition in the large-widebody segment.

Tune in for a discussion of these topics and more for the week ended Feb. 3, 2023.
