B747-100 (N747PA)

525 JumboJet1969  5.1 years ago

Well atleast I attempted to make a Pan Am livery, sorry if it sucks XD. N747PA was the 2nd Boeing 747 ever built, and was known as Clipper America, Clipper Sea Lark, and then Clipper Juan T. Trippe [That’s the dude who helped with the development of the 747 ;)]. N747PA suffered an incident in 1971 where the plane stuck some structures past the runway due to pilot error, (Athough trying that in simpleplanes would most likely blow this plane up instantly.) the plane was repaired and returned to service. N747PA was re-registered and leased to Air Zaïre as N747QC from 1973 until March 1975, when returned to Pan Am. The plane would stay with the company until bankruptcy in 1991, where it was then transferred to Aeroposta, then briefly to Kabo Air of Nigeria, back to Aeroposta, and was finally cut into pieces in 1999 at Norton AFB in San Bernardino, California where it had been stored since at least 1997. The parts of the aircraft were shipped to Hopyeong, Namyangju, South Korea and reassembled, to serve as a restaurant for some time, until it closed down. After the restaurant shut down, there were petitions and campaigns from numerous aviation enthusiasts for museums or local governments to preserve the historical airplane. However, the aircraft was eventually scrapped in 2010. Btw most of this stuff I just copied from Wikipedia to give you all context of the 747, I don’t mean to plagiarize anything here. So the controls are the same as my City of Everett (N7470) plane but just in case you forgot or don’t know: AG1 + Throttle is Engines, AG2 is Beacon and Nav lights, AG3 is strobe lights, AG4 is landing and taxi lights, AG5 + Throttle is reverse thrust/pushback (But NEVER put AG1 + AG5 + Throttle together.), VTOL is flaps, Trim is Trim, and basic flight controls are default. Anyways thanks for reading all this hopefully you all will enjoy N747PA.
