Boeing 747SP N539PA was delivered to Pan Am on 11 May 1979 and entered service as Clipper Black Hawk. A 747SP-21, it flew Pan Am's ultra-long-range routes. In 1986, it was sold to United Airlines and re-registered N148UA, operating briefly before being retired. Later, it served as a VIP aircraft for the Qatar royal family under registrations VR-BAT and VP-BAT. Over its career, N539PA was celebrated for its long-range performance and versatility, carrying passengers on commercial and VIP missions while representing Pan Am's iconic 747SP fleet.
Known during development as the 747SB (short-body), the 747SP (special performance) was designed to meet a 1973 joint request from Pan American World Airways and Iran Air for a long-range, high-capacity airliner. The SP variant had a fuselage that was shortended by 47 feet while retaining the engines and fuel tank capacity, yeilding a higher speed and longer range than existing 747 variants. The 747SP first entered service with Pan Am in 1976 and in the years that followed, its record-setting range enabled Pan Am to offer the longest non-stop flights in the world, including New York - Tokyo, San Francisco - Hong Kong and Los Angeles - Sydney. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Gemini's 1:200 scale Boeing 747 is an exceptionally large and heavy model in this scale (over two pounds) and is constructed almost entirely of solid diecast metal. The extra wide-body fuselage, with its wonderfully sculpted nose section, features all around seamless construction with pad-printed windows and doors. The model is supported on an all metal fixed landing gear with soft rubber tires and a steerable nose wheel. The solid metal wings are constructed as a single unit, and then carefully fitted to the fuselage. They feature accurately replicated flap track fairings at the rear and free spinning highly detailed fan blades inside each engine nacelles.
