Boeing 747, the "Queen of the Skies," flying off into history

Even before Boeing's 747 flew its first passengers back in 1970, the world knew this was something special. And from day one, the Anderson family has quite literally had their hands on nearly every single 747 built, working on the production line in Everett, Washington.

Kelvin  "Andy" Anderson was a supervisor on the prototype; his son, Vic, is now a lead mechanic on the last one (and about 875 before it).

"He turned them on, and I'll be turning them off. Means a lot to our family," Vic said.
