The 747 has very much to do with the subject. When you mention an airliner, everyone thinks of modern day, the majority of Lufthansa's fleet intended for long-haul to carry maximum passengers is the B-747. Their currently buying the A-380, yet there are only about 3 airports that can currently support the HUGE aircraft.
So, next time please describe why your mentioning the airliner, first thoughts will always be modern day!:aok
