Inside RA001: World’s first Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’

fondly remembering dawn of jumbo Boeing 747 commercial passenger airliners, with its much quieter huge turbofan jet engines, making air travel more tolerable for intercontinental (trans-pacific) flights (JAL), even for young children.

when younger, at dawn of commercial passenger Boeing 707 airliners, with excruciatingly loud (for a young child) turbojet engines, I hated the experience (plus dealing with ear-popping pressure changes) intercontinental (trans-pacific) flights required stops in Hawaii (Pan-Am) … I’d feel half-deaf throughout most of the flight, even after the flight. ouch.
