A rare scene at KSJC
While 747's (N747A) are a rare site at KSJC, we do have this one that serves our beloved SAN JOSE SHARKS (NHL) team ... It has also moon lighted in the past as the "offical" plane of the BALLET SAN JOSE and "Corporate Jet" of "FRYS ELECTRONICS". (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Where does she live when not in use? Probably out in the desert some place...
They store her at either MHR or MCC, and down to San Bernardino for matinence.
Would love to see this flight at SJC. I fly out weekly and have never seen this plane. I remember walking from the new B concourse down to A about a year ago and begin greeted with a 777 and going wow. Talked to the UA GA and she told me it had to take an emergency landing.
Why Randy Fry would need an SP is beyond me. I thought the Sharks plane is a 727-200. Obviously not quite up to the intercontinental trip as a non-stop.
I've always loved the look of the 747, especially the classics. But somehow the SP version just doesn't look quite right. Still, it must have been a very comfortable flight!
I agree, those stubby SP's are just hard to look at.
I flew on one of the Pan Am SP's from Tokyo to LA in the late 70's. It was a weird configuration. You would walk down on side of the A/C from 1st to Eco and there were no seats, just windows. On the other side was a closed off area that I presume was for cargo.
By far the most turbulent ride I ever had coming out of the old Tokyo airport and the Stewart never sat down, he just held on to all the whisky/wine bottles he was opening on this table top and never blinked. i particularly had my eye on the opened Jack Daniels for fear it was getting loose. :) It settled down after a several minutes.
