THE END of the Boeing 747 era has moved one step closer following the delivery of the second to last airframe. The jet, N862GT (c/n 67149), is the 1,573rd example to roll off the manufacturer's production line since 1968 and was handed over to the New York-based carrier Atlas Air on November 22. The 747-8F is finished in the livery of Swiss freight company Kuehne+Nagel and will be operated on its behalf by the American airline under a long-term agreement.
