Exclusive and Onboard: The Last U.S. Operated Boeing 747-200 Soars Into Retirement
On April 21, 2017, a very quiet but very special retirement flight took place out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Kalitta Air retired its final operating Boeing 747-200, officially flying the last flight of a “Classic” 747 by a U.S. Part 121 airline. Airways Magazine correspondent and reporter Cody Diamond was onboard the flight deck for the final flight. (airwaysmag.com) Altro...

Though these may be last of the 200s operated by part 121 carriers, I would point out that both of the Air Force's VC-25s are 747-200B's as are the E-4s.
Outstanding account of the final flight, as well as a well thought-out tribute. The B742 may take her place alongside the DC-8, L-1011, 727, and all of the other freighters that have come before her. PFE Pruitt can enjoy a well deserved retirement!
