Excellent capture.
This photo nicely shows how the fuselage is divided to decks.

Really usual scene!

Great photo but so sad at the same time!!

One of the more interesting pictures on a.net, congratulations. I stared at it for 5 minutes :-)

Unique! grat details of the different decks

Sadly this historic aircraft has met her inevitable end. Fortunately the cockpit section has been preserved. Northwest´s first 747 is now part of aviation history, only photos and memories are left of this aircraft. Farewell N601US.

You know, even though this is a sad photo, I really like it. It shows the structure, the design, the integration and materials very well. What amazing machines these 747 are!!!

Look at the old projector under bin in the middle level. Young people will take LCD on seat for granted. They can't imagine how we watch a big screen in front those good old days....

Wow! What a piece of art. Sad to see an aircraft like that, but I just love cross-section pics. Especially 747!!! It's so great to see the aircraft from the outside and inside at the same time. Great job James!!!

How sad...looks like it has been decapitated...

If you like 747s, this photo is fascinating, so much information about the structure! Thank you for sharing it

Rare look at this B747 cross-section. Engineering marvel.

This is a great photo! Sad to see her go, but it does tell a great story. I've been on the upper deck of this historic aircraft. I'm lucky to have her as my neighbor here in Washington DC. Amazing to see this giant mounted on a wall in a large building!

So this must be the new 747 cockpit section ejection system...similar to the F-111...:-)

Well, on the bright side, the projectors and the lavatory still looks good

Decapitated... Maybe a bit of a disgrace for this old lady, but certainly makes for an interesting subject!

That would make a good house

My first ride on this a/c was Minneapolis to Salina,ks to our training base there, where the transition training for pilots took place.I was the only passenger as a company employee.

I still remember how those projectors used to shake around during turbulence on old 747 from Alitalia

What an amazing and weird photo....I've been in the cockpit at the smith. now i can see the whole thing!

Truly a unique perspective that you don't get to see very often. the perfect slice of a 747.
