Remarks: Knowing how old this jumbo is, I can let you guess how many airline schemes have been painted on her since the pass 41 years, since she was built. The answer is 6. The first carrier was American Airlines, then Boeing took it back to covert it into freighter, after that, she flew for Flying Tiger Line, Lufthansa, El Al Airlines. Ended up with UPS in 1984, and she is now stored. Here seeing her on final approach 25R on a cloudy afternoon.
Remarks: There are fewer and fewer UPS 747s now, as they are slowly being replaced by additional MD11Fs, although they recently ordered some 747-400ERFs, which I am looking forward to seeing.
Remarks: This aircraft was originally delivered to American Airlines back in July 1970(ex-N9676). It was the 57th 747 built and carries the SELCAL code CD-HQ.
