This 742 was originally delivered to Singapore airlines in March 1976 as 9V-SQE. The plane had a long and well-travelled commercial life as it then flew with Pan Am (as N727PA), Nationair (C-FNXP), Tower Air (N514DC & N620FF), Air Club International (C-GCIH) and then finally arriving in Sweden as SE-RBN with Transjet. The plane has been preserved at ESSA since January 2008 and is in use as a hotel.

Looking decidedly delapidated in her weather-beaten colour scheme where she is perched on a small hill at Arlanda as a hotel since 2008.

Looking decidedly delapidated in her weather-beaten Transjet Airways colours (still with their "TJ" tail logo). This Jumbo was delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SQE in 1976.

To celebrate the airline's first service to California a large sticker 'California here we come!' has been applied. This aircraft served many airlines during its career, Pan Am, Nationair, Garuda and Tower Air, just to name a few.

This is the 747 airframe which, in 2009, became the Jumbo Hostel at Stockholm Arlanda.

A very rich history for this bird, with many airlines (incl. leases). Ex. 9V-SQE, N727PA, C-FNXP, N514DC, C-GCIH, N511P N620FF, SE-RBN, 3D-NEE and N982JM. Sold to Jumbo Hostel in 2007 and named after the owner's daughter. In January 2009, the hostel opened the doors for guests. During a weekend of photography at Arlanda, a night's stay was a must. Very fittingly, I was assigned room 727 and a nice experience all-around. The jumbo has 25 rooms, including a cockpit suite.

It was ex C-FNXP Nationair; N727PA Pan American and 9V-SQE Singapore Airlines of origin. With Air Club International from Jun 94 to Oct 95. Later with Tower Air N620FF; SE-RBN Transjet. Became the Jumbo Hostel at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
