Delta Airlines’ B747 Farewell Tour
Detroit / Seattle / Atlanta / Minneapolis
Logistics. Planning. And more planning. That’s what it took to pull off this before-Christmas whirlwind-around-the-country, 4 cities (Detroit / Seattle / Atlanta / Minneapolis) in 4-days farewell tour for Delta’s B747-400 airplanes. We supported BI Worldwide by providing the lights, audio and video/projection (notice the large projection screen in the shape of a tail fin!) for the hangar parties. How did we do it? It took two crews and two sets of gear, leap-frogging one another across the country, to pull it off. Some of our crew even had the exciting privilege of riding on the final leg of the tour! It was an honor to be a part of this historic event.
Enjoy the time-lapse video of set-up, show, and tear-down, as well as some interior shots of this “grand dame” of airplanes. Special thanks to Robert Evans Imagery for the wonderful photos!
