message: I personally think a photo of a Pan Am plane is worse, I like the Iberia one better. Change it! Jayiscool1999 (talk) 14:01, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Jayiscool1999, you Iberia (airline) looks worse than the Pan Am one, too reddish and too yellowish. Replace it with a rather cool, blue themed Olympic one. BuddyHeigh (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Canterbury Tail, I was informed by you to talk for consensus in the talk page. Now, An Olympic Airlines 747-200 rather looks beautiful(to me) rather than the Iberia (airline) one. Now, Iberia is sometimes not even known to operate 747, as due to their limited operations. But Olympic Airlines was rather a larger operator. So, I prefer an Olympic Airlines 747-200 photo. BuddyHeigh (talk) 19:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree. The Olympic one is not a good photo. The subject and the background are too similar in colour pallet which prevents the viewer from getting a good sense of the outline and shape of the 747 in the image. It's a pretty terrible composition all told. The Iberia one on the otherhand has a very clear view of the 747, you can make out its shape very easily. Another could be found, but it's compositionally and from a clarity perspective far superior to the Olympic image. And incidentally Olympic was not a large operator of the 747, but a rather smaller operator. They only ever had 7 in their entire operational lifetime and they operated them for less time than Iberia. Canterbury Tail talk 22:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure that the 747 production ended in December, 2022 but in the page it says, "...manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States between 1968 and 2023" in the first paragraph. It also says it in the chart. Produced: 1968-2023. We should change it to 2022. CreatorOfMinecraftHerobrine (talk) 04:14, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Lufthansa Flight 540 was the first fatal crash of a 747. On November 20, 1974, it stalled and crashed moments after taking off from Nairobi, with 59 deaths and 98 survivors. The cause was an error by the flight engineer in combination with a lack of a sufficient warning system.

message: Greetings from fellow Wikipedian BuddyHeigh!
A problem about the last operator of the 747-200. Yes, it is true that Iran Air was the last commercial operator of the 747-200. But Kabo Air, the Nigerian airline that ceased operations on commercial passenger flights and continues operations on charter passenger flights and Hajj Flights, operates one Boeing 747-200, 5N-MAD, but it is stored for maintenance. If any Wikipedian finds this information useful, please change the information about the operations of the 747-200.
Thanks!
