The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
The 747-8 is one terrific airplane to fly, equal to the triple seven, if not even now my favorite, at least for some missions.
When we built the 747-8, we dialed it in to fly like the models before it as well.
Because of the design of the upper deck, with the galley and staircase at the rear of the cabin, the forward seats have the most privacy and quiet.
there is a certain visceral thrill to being on the top deck of a 747, because of the privacy it affords.
