I feel old. I remember when the 744 was the latest and greatest thing, now they are on their way out (if not already gone) from the fleets of many carriers.

I understand that airlines operate on tight margins and need fuel efficient fleets, and that the only constant is change, but I still personally find it sad to think that the distinctive 747 silhouette will soon be seen at only a fraction of the number of airports it used to grace.
