If you saw a white substance streaming away from your airplane's wing after takeoff, what would you do? Figure it's just a weird air thing and ignore it? Keep an eye on it? Or would you rely on your background as a NASA aerospace engineer, where safety is an everyday issue, and realize it was time to flag down the flight attendant? NASA aerospace engineer Rumaasha Maasha made choice No. 3 on a flight out of Huntsville, Ala., and that's why he's being praised for quick action in a bad situation.

Picture international air travel without the hassle: no costly airport transfer, no busy security line or passport control, no waiting to board or depart. Instead, you're in and out of the airplane in minutes and jet setting across the world to your destination in no time at all. According to SAMAD Aerospace, the UK-based mastermind behind a new high-tech, dynamic airplane called the Starling Jet, this dream could soon be a business travel reality.

On Wednesday, Delta Airlines flight 9771 flew from Atlanta to Pinal Airpark in Arizona. It wasn't a full flight—just 48 people on board. But it was a milestone—and not just for the two people who got married mid-flight—for it marked the very last flight of a Boeing 747 being operated by a US airline. Delta's last scheduled passenger service with the jumbo was actually late in December, at which point it conducted a farewell tour and then some charter flights. But as of today, after 51 long years in service, if you want to ride a 747 you'll need to be traveling abroad.
