The 747SP was the first wide-body for state owned CAAC. This is the second one (of six) , delivered June 26, 1980. By the time of the photo, the overseas airline division of CAAC had become Air China, but this aircraft had yet to get the new titles and tail logo. Re-registered B-2438 in 1992, it was sold to UT Finance December 1999 and parked at Victorville, CA. The airplane was ferried to Plattsburgh, NY on June 07, 2001 where is was gradually scrapped.
