Our illustrious fleet director has a new love - the 747SP. Tommie painted up this one in vintage AeroTexas colors. According to Wikipedia, the idea for the 747SP came from a request by Pan Am for a 747 variant capable of carrying a full payload non-stop on its longest route between New York and Tokyo. It set a world record in 1976 as the "Liberty Bell Express", when it was flown around the world in 46.43 hours, starting at JFK on May 1st with two stopovers (Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi and Tokyo-Haneda Airport).

Very nice, Tommie!
Will these be available soon? I'm interested in the FSX models/paint schemes (I saw the Citation X on an earlier post).
Thanks,
