VIDEO / Cel mai vechi Boeing 747-100 apt de zbor a ajuns la muzeu

Ieri, 15 noiembrie, exemplarul N747GE (48,7 ani) – folosit pana acum de GE Aviation pentru testarea motoarelor in zbor – a aterizat pentru ultima data la muzeul Pima Air and Space din Arizona, unde va fi expus alaturi de primul 777 construit si alte aeronave.

Asa cum v-am informat pe pagina Aeronews de Facebook, jumbo jet-ul a decolat ieri din Victorville si a aterizat in Tucson, dupa care a fost tractat in perimetrul muzeului Pima Air and Space. N747GE a fost pilotat de Gary Possert, unul dintre pilotii de test care au lansat Boeing 747-100. Potrivit GE Aviation, acest 747-100 a acumulat 90.000 de ore de zbor si 19.251 cicluri. A iesit de pe linia de asamblare finala pe 17 octombrie 1969 si a operat primul sau zbor pentru Pan Am pe 3 martie 1970. Propulsat de motoare Pratt & Whitney JT9D, avionul a intrat in flota GE Aviation in martie 1992, iar din 25 ianuarie 2017 s-a odihnit la Victorville. Foto main: twitter.com/JonRohman
