For the first time in 48 years, you can't buy a ticket on a US 
airline to fly on a Boeing 747. On Wednesday, Delta Air Lines 
Flight 9771 touched down in Marana, Arizona, an arid boneyard 
for stored and cannibalized jetliners. A three-hour-and-33-minute 
journey from Atlanta.  The last of the airline's 16 jumbo 
Boeing 747-400s flew to a desert retirement, ending operations 
by passenger airlines in the United States.  Both Delta and 
United Airlines have been saying goodbye to the jumbo for 
months. A final domestic revenue flight, a last international 
trip, a final charter. Those last trips became more of a 
farewell tour than a formal end.  But Wednesday's departure on 
ship 6314 was the true grand finale.
