A little surprised not to see a Shure SM28 or 57 microphone near the items at the top of that list...

And if you're gonna have the GG Bridge, can I propose the 747as well. They're still building them now, almost 50 years later - the first one rolled out of the factory in '68 (first test flight wasn't till '69)



The 747 is certainly iconic, but I hate to be the one to tell you that 747 production may be coming to an end as the industry has zero interest in inefficient four-engine jets.

Basically no interest in the passenger or freighter model at this stage (the newest series, the -8I/-8F, has attracted barely over 100 deliveries). Same story for the A380, whose orders basically stopped in 2014. Freight and passenger service are both moving to more efficient twin-engine wide-bodies.


Interesting!

Can you give some specific examples of "more efficient twin-engine wide-bodies"? I'm very interested in the aviation industry, but terribly ignorant of it.


I thought the freighter was still alive. I know that active passenger fleets are being retired, completely so among US carriers AFAIU.


Do you mean the Shure SM58 ?

I'd say definitely. One of the most used designs. Built like a tank. One of the most used and abused microphones in my opinion.


Damn typos - yeah, I mean 58...


Seattleite here, you're right--quite the oversight!
