: Hi everyone just recently I visited the home
: of JAL including the cargo jets. I was so
: happy and content to see our former PAA
: N905PA Clipper Golden Eagle standing outside
: the hangers on hydroloc jacks holding this
: grand ladie up. I learn't that she has
: suffered corrosion and under carriage
: problems after a heavy landing at Natira
: airport a few days ago. I know JAL look
: after there older aircraft and preserve them
: very well. I also came across JA8150 EX
: ROCHIA which has joined the jal cargo fleet
: a 747-200 ex pax jet now completely
: refurbished to a cargo jet. I have being
: told our former PAA N905PA might not be
: around to much longer in there fleet and
: will be retired soon or heading to the
: storage facility at Marina hope fully not to
: be broken up. Can some one update me to tell
: me if JA8150 a sister cargo ship to our
: N905PA had ever being in the PAN AM fleet.
: Thank you.

: Hi Katie i read your comments about our EX
: PAA cargo jet N905pa which is with JAL
: Logistics as JA8160 as far as i know from my
: close associates of mine working for JAL and
: other companies who have other EX PAA 747's
: active to date. She is not going any where
: or to the storage facility at Marina they
: don't have her booked in for storage next
: year any time. JA8150 was brought by JAL in
: the mid eighties and yes her decals were
: fantastic as Rocioha. She never served with
: PAN AM at all so her details would be with
: JAL or airliners.net site. I will fined out
: more info about this incident with former
: N905PA CLIPPER Golden Eagle and put it over
: this message board. Thank you

Hi Willie i have done some investigaing for you on JA8150 she is still active with JAL I checked Roswell Majove storage facility online but they don't have this airframe registared for srcapping or refurbishment even though JAL do there own. It might be some years away before she ends up there as JAL keep there older jets for long periods of time I know the JAL DC10-40'S went to Maina some time ago but they were in good nick as well I know they have being dismantled along with the Continental DC-10 30 jets and other airlines.I am amazed and delighted to see JA8160 our former 747 PAA jet still active and doing the miles harder then ever. Well you take care my friend and if others reading my comments want to comment on this topic feel free to do tht. Thank you
Merry Christmas to all PANAMAIRS.
