All about air travel. I have been fascinated by all things to do with airlines since I was 7 years old. So why not have a blog about air travel? It is one of my greatest interests in life. Photo of me at JFK Airport 1983 after our Pan Am 747 flight from JNB next stop Disneyland on ?

SAA 747SP - Pan Am were the launch customer for this highly specialized model of 747, it flew higher (up to 50 000ft) and further than other 747's and with it's shorter body was perfect for cutting down flying time and fuel consumption. I have flown (only ever as a passenger) on a Pan Am, SAA and a Air Mauritius 747SP (it made the 5 hour JNB-MRU flight in 3 and a half hours) but sadly the 747SP was not purchased by many Airlines. Saudi Arabian Airlines had a few too.
