Hi everyone, some photos were posted on this blog (not by me): http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2009/04/abandoned-boeing-747-restaurant.html Thought you'd be interested, seeming as they also linked to this discussion but no-one here seems aware of the photos.. enjoy --Previous Message-- : N747PA was the second 747-121 off the : production line which was the first to be : delivered to Pan Am. : : According to Boeing and the Boeing-Seattle : Production List, N747001 is the first : 747-121 off the production line. This was : withdrawn from use and now resides at the : Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. : : Have a great day, : Mark Bermudez : : : --Previous Message-- : Ive heard several times that parts of the : N747PA airframe are used in a restaurant in : South Korea, but does anyone know the name : of the actual restaurant? Or even photos? : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Nope,N747PA was not the aircraft which made : the maiden passenger flight.N736PA was,and : it took place on January 22nd 1970,and : N747PA wasn't even delivered to PAN AM until : October of 1970.N747QC was indeed not the : first registration on this airframe,but the : second,when it was leased to Air Zaire for a : couple of years in the 70's.You also mention : that the prototype 747 was registered as : N7471PA,but it's actually N7470.It rolled : out of the factory on September : 30th,1968,and first flew on February : 9th,1969.Thank you.--Previous Message-- : Hi Mark well i have some really great news : for : you being a fomer Boeing interior designer : for Boeing in 1968 when the very first proto : type 747 began its construction. First of al : your research or the PAN AM data you have : stored at your university in Miami needs : updating or the some of the data from the : PAN AM days was not given to your univirsity : for reasons beyond there control I do know : for a fact that sensitive files including : some aircraft history wasn't to be given out : at all to be made public. However i can tell : you that Boeing produced this very first : airframe and the rego the original rego I : might say was N7471PA It was used to travel : the globe and to show the public and its : buyers this massive aircraft about the : future of air travel which would : revolutionise the jet age era. N747PA : CLIPPER JUAN TRIPPE was in fact another : airframe similar to the original porto type : 747/100. N747QC was not the first : registration given from the very first proto : type 747 made. Yes it was sad to see PAN AM : end this way but they were the launch : airline for the almighty 747 back then which : is correct! : : N7471PA sits at in a car park lot or spare : lot down the road from the Boeing plant : where she was born or created back in 1968 : then came out of the hangers at Boeing in : 1969 for its first maiden flight. N747PA the : PAN AM jet became the second jumbo produced : by our Boeing plant but was the first actual : 747 to make its maiden passenger flight by : this american airline. : : I admired for years and still today the pan : am 747's which some are still active today : and others are in millions of scrapped metal : parts. However now Clipper Juan Trippe : N747PA is being used in asia as a resturant : is appaulling and a discrace to see such a : big airline airframe being used or this : practice as a resturant Aeroposta should : have kept this air frame together and : shipped her to Boeing who were I might add : would have refurbished her to her former : glory by there staff and parked it up next : to the proto type jumbo here in Seattle. So : not all PAN AM records are not available for : veiwing or cannot be disclosed at all under : the US Attorney General after unexplained : incidents with PAN AM's finacial matters and : the write off's or air crashes and desolving : the company it self which is still under : scrutiny and investigation as well as : dumping of files and other resourses and : airframes which is being investigated. So I : hope this answers your questions and answers : so i hope this helps you all out and the : staff frm PAN AM. Thank you : : Mark Watson former Boeing employee : 1967-1979 : : : : Nope wrong frank check your data with : Boeing officially it was 30th September 1968 : but due to some modifications with N7470 the : date was actually 30th JAN 1969 when she : rolled out for her public showing and guess : who from PAN AM was there right up along : side the jet back then??? : Its a PAN AM well known clipper name on : N747PA the creator of PAN AMERICAN WORLD : AIRWAYS himself "Juan Trippe" with : the CEO of Boeing have a look at the photos' : Thank you : : Regards : \Mark Watson former Boeing employee : 1967-1989 : : : : :
