747SP owned by Sheldon Adelson damaged in hangar
A rare Boeing 747SP plane has suffered severe damage after a collision with another aircraft. The plane was set to undergo maintenance work before the collision occurred in an Arizona hangar, leaving a gaping slice beneath the fuselage’s front-end. Evidence suggests the aircraft has now been damaged beyond repair. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Probably an online poker player getting back at Assdelson for paying to block legalization of online poker.
NASA is licking their lips. Spare parts for SOFIA!
Sad
Alright Boeing time to reopen the line for the 747sp so we can rebuild this thing
Did anyone ever think maybe he loved his classic 747 SP? Forget the cost, the age, and the fuel inefficiency. Maybe it was not about the money. There were only 45 built.
I think about how many folks out there have a classic, old aircraft. Many of them costly and fuel efficient but these classic aircraft become a member of the family.
I’d like to think Mr. Adelson loved his 747 SP.
I know I will take flack for my sympathetic comment, but that’s okay.

That's a fair point. But he's also a businessman, and owns another 747SP. The loss of one may be bearable for him.
Mr. Adelson and his wife are very kind and generous souls. Does anyone recall when he sent 747's to Afghanistan to bring weary American soldiers into his resorts in Vegas for some overdue r&r? He paid for everything. I don't recall how many rotations were made, but, it was a lot.
