The Forgotten 747 - Boeing 747-300
Join this channel to get early access to new videos a week ahead of their public release: / @rorymacve Greetings all! :D This week, we take a look at a version of the Boeing 747 that time has seemingly forgotten, as while it was not the lowest selling 747 model, with the 747SP taking that particular mantle, the 747-300 of the early 1980s was intended originally as the next generation of mainstream 747 model, which would carry over the range until the launch of the highly advanced 747-400 at the end of the decade. Unfortunately, 747-300 did not provide enough substantial upgrades over the preceding 747-200 to warrant its increased price, and thus with the -200 still being built alongside it and the -400 officially announced in 1985, the -300 fell into a hole in the market with no significant interest for its few advancements over the earlier variants, and today is barely remembered amid its other more noted stablemates All video content and images in this production have been provided with permission wherever possible.
