The days of the iconic Boeing 747 are numbered. Airlines are simply not buying this original jumbo jet, instead preferring smaller dual aisle planes, such as the Airbus A340 and Boeing's own 777. And Airbus is struggling to give away its A380, now admitting it will never recoup its R&D costs. Once these planes disappear, our airports will become drab fields of similar looking planes.
