Nice tribute! I flew from Toronto to Athens on an Olympic 747 more than 20 years ago. Didn’t realize Olympic had shut down. Is the Airport in Athens closed too?

Love the video...a bit sad, but a good story. Reminds me of when Eastern stopped flying.

Very cool video. Being a retired air traffic controller I always enjoy anything with airplanes. Saw and old B737, B727 and of course the B747, all great airplanes in their day. I've always loved the B727. Also, it's not too often you get to fly a drone around an airport, and especially down a runway, of that size. Great video, yet sad at the same time.
