Make plans now to visit the CR Smith Museum's latest exhibit which chronicles the history of the Boeing 747. The versatility of this aircraft has allowed it to serve as a passenger plane, cargo transport, and even as a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft used to ferry the Space Shuttle on it's back. In 2012, the number of 747's stood at 1,448 with an additional 81 planes on order which means the 747 will be around well into the future.
