10 47 Heavy pain.

That runway 1st, right, clear for take-up. Hello and welcome to episode 201 of AvToc. I am Ian Petchnick.

Joined from where? Great Falls State Park in outside of Portland, Oregon, excruciatingly close to Everett, Washington, but not quite.

But not quite.

How dare they schedule such an auspicious occasion when you are inside of a waterfall?

They really need to work around my flight pans a little better in the future, but we'll let it slide this time the next time

Boeing retires another iconic aircraft I expect a little more heads up. Or not

retires but finishes producing. Producing.

I don't want to say retires.

I will get yelled at a lot.

Nope, no, the aircraft itself will fly for decades to come.

This particular delivery will likely be in service well into the 2050s at least so I'm not worried

on that front but it is sad to see the last of them kind of leave the factory.

As you can hear from Jason's background, he's inside of a waterfall in a state park in Oregon. I'm in the podcast studio place thingy. Your

and my basement. And a bulk of today's episode is going to be a

conversation that I'm having with John Ostrower from the air current about

Boeing finishing production of 747, what comes next at Everett, and what comes

next for Boeing. So we're going to talk a lot about that and then also look into the quick settlement of the dispute between Airbus and Qatar Airways.

Seemally coming out of nowhere.

Yeah, we went from a Reuters article earlier in the week saying they were moving towards a settlement and said, okay, that's interesting, to all of a sudden,

A, we've settled our differences, we're withdrawing all of our lawsuits and countersuits and we're reinstating our orders.

But nobody is admitting fault. Never forget that part.
