Classic Boeing 747SP In Boston

[Thornton Shepherd]

I love to see these classic old birds still flying.

Just love the SP, we saw a number of SPs in Sydney back in the 70s/80s/90s - two for Qantas, Air China and South African etc. from memory.

I wonder if this one has Roulette tables on the upper deck for the high rollers ?

I saw 6 SP's in very close proximity at what is now T1 one Saturday morning around 1998 - sadly I did not have a camera with me:

Qantas x 2 - one departed shortly afterward as QF19 (I think) to Manila;
Mandarin Airlines from TPE;
Air China;
Korean Airlines;
South African (running late, was usually a Friday night arr/dep then.)

6 out of 45? together in one place.

Apart from Pan Am/United, who else operated the SP to Sydney?

Seeing EAA in Australia Asia colours reminds me the nickname that Sydney Airport staff gave the airline - "Deranged Kangaroo"
