SHORT AND STOUT SPs

Here's a Mandarin Airlines B747SP, the earliest, shortest and the most stout of all the 747s. In the mid-80s United flew many of these for the domestic US sectors. Now, most of them are already in retirement, with the exception of a few old dogs doing their 'last call' cargo duties.

Pesawat Jumbo B747SP, paling pendek en 'ndut dari seri 747; di sini milik Mandarin Airlines dari China. Maskapai United Airlines juga mengoperasikan banyak pesawat tipe SP ini untuk jalur domestik mereka dari awal 80an lagi. Kini, banyak yg sudah dipensiumkan.
