Joe Sutter, Dead at 95 ⇥ reuters.com

The 1960s was the decade that birthed every single one of my favourite aircraft: the Concorde, the SR-71, and — of course — the 747. After many years of travel, I finally got to experience a flight aboard a 747 last year, from Taipei to Vancouver. What an incomparable aircraft, and an amazing legacy left by Sutter.
