Hello,Bourke.Wow,these two planes have actually been lying around at JFK for the past 7 years?I thought they would all end up in the desert once they were written off/retired.Guess not.I'm wondering,how will N740PA be ferried to marana?Do they dismantle it partly at JFK first,and haul it away?Or do they slap on a set of engines and fly it there?
: Hi everyone out there well as you know many of
: you new Tower Air collapsed back in 2000 and
: they left two of our PAN AM ladies lying
: there stripped. These were N755PA N740PA
: CLIPPER SOVERGIN OF THE SEAS AND CLIPPER
: OCEAN PEARL. They are being moved away from
: that area now as they are considered to be a
: danger to airport employees because of there
: condition. N755PA will be dismantled at that
: area within the next few months while
: Clipper Ocean Pearl N740PA will be ferried
: to the scrap man at Marina where she will be
: taken apart. Because of the long leagal
: dispute these two jets remained there 2000
: and waited for there out come. We have many
: memories of these two 747-121 jets while
: they were with PAN AM and they will be
: missed by many of us with or memories of the
: PAN AM days.
:
: If you visit this area or have prmission
: from security to visit these two jets you
: can do so through JFK airport
: administration. However only former PAN AM
: employees will have this privilage where
: unfortunatley plane spotters won't have
: access to these aircraft where they sit
: idle. Thank you
