I don't know if Joe Sutter ever made it to Sydney, however he was here in Spirit this afternoon. Joe led the Boeing Design Team on the B747 Project, and was affectionately known as "The Father Of The B747”. UPS named their 1st B747-8F N605UP "Spirit Of Joe Sutter", and it made its first visit to Sydney Airport today. RIP Joe (1921-2016), the B747 was a job well done.
