Hi Mark i was reading your comments I also recieved your interest in our PAN AM meusem which is under construction. I have some info on this PAN AM jet but my good friend Mark Burmedez will fill you in more. The last i herd about this aircraft N4711U she is now down with a carrie called AEROPOSTA who brought a few of our 747's from PAN AM which included Clipper Juan Trippe N7471PA she is in a feild retired with other 747's from other airlines in south America. Maybe if you contact them or Mark Burmedez for info on her. I hope this info helps you out. Thank you
Season Greetings
