Here is your chance to fly history! After 54 years, you will fly the last Boeing 747 made on its delivery flight from Pane Field to its new owner, Atlas Air. On February 1st, 2023, the crew departed Pane Field (KPAE) and painted a crown across the sky of Washington State. The 747 then proceeded on his way to Cincinnati (KCVG) where Atlas Air took ownership.
Boeing Commerical Airplanes chief executive Stan Deal explained, "This monumental day is a testament to the generations of Boeing employees who brought to life the airplane that shrank the world, and revolutionized travel and air cargo as the first widebody. It is fitting to deliver this final 747-8000 Freighter to the largest operator of the 747, Atlas Air, where the Queen will continue to inspire and empower in air cargo."
This flight plan follows the same route the crew took on February 1st, 2023. There are two flight plans:
747 Full Flight - KPAE to KCVG - as actually flown by the crew
747 Short Flight - KPAE to KHLN - a much shorter plan
Both flight plans fly the crown.
Have fun and don't stop exploring.

Not a dumb question, I too wondered the same question at one time. Basically, you put the *.pln file in your localstate folder of your MSFS location. Then fire up MSFS, go to world map and at the bottom should me a "more" button. Then load from PC, pick the flightplan. There should be a "how to load flight plan" text doc in your download that has everything in better detail. Also, if you are flying Salty 747, there is a text file with all the waypoints that you can copy/paste to simbrief. There are youtube videos on how to import simbrief into Salty 747. Hopes this helps.

Thank you-but I really didn't do much, just put the waypoints together for everyone, the real thanks goes to the crew of the 747, they did all the hard work.
