Remarks: Cropped rear view of a Pan Am Boeing 747-121 taxying out from Sydney's new International Terminal in December 1970. The First Boeing 747 arrival in Australia was Pan Am Boeing 747-121 N734PA, at Sydney on 04Oct1970. Two months later this huge aircraft was still a novelty. The aircraft looks heavily used, and in need of a wash. This was the 47th B747 built.
