January 22, 1970 was the first commercial flight of a Boeing 747 aircraft. It was flown by Pan Am between New York and London.The origins of the 747 are rather infamous. The creation of the airplane reportedly all started from this simple note in 1965:
| Dear Mr Boeing, Please build us a very big aeroplane soon. If it is pretty as well that will be a bonus. We will buy lots of them. Yours sincerely, Pan Am |
