Great video of my all time favourite 747, the good old SP (Fat Albert)
Cheers,
Nathan

Are those POSKY version 4?
I did not know Olympics operated 747SP. If it is POSKY version 4, where did you find that Olympics livery?
Please correct my memory. Did Qantas 747SP set record of most passengers in single 747 flight during emergency evacuation?

No .... it was -200B as a result of the evacuation of Darwin over 3 days following the hurricane of December 25th 1974 .... QF didn't operate the -SP at that time .... www.adastron.com/cyclone-tracy/tracy-qf-report.htmwww.ntnews.com.au/news/special-features/cyclone-tracy/donns-record-cyclone-tracy-mercy-flight/news-story/e79f3b3991b4de6dbaa1ad0160e2641cAnd so far as I'm aware .... OLYMPIC never operated the -SP. PAN AM wanted an aircraft/B747 version that would fly further by going higher .... and which is essentially how the -SP came into being .... as well was being BOEING's response to try'n offset competition from the DC-10 (in part) during the early/mid 1970's too, but, whilst it was quite good for some routes (like between the Australian east coast and high altitude South African ports, it was never all that popular among airlines of the world. Apparently it imposed a number of operational limitations that weren't all that favourable in the interest of airline economics .... or so I was told. Only a handful of airlines ever ordered -SP's. More operated it later than whom ever ordered it .... although not for very long in a numner of cases. Mark C AKL/NZ

Aahron I have no idea where I might of found them, I've had those for over 5 years now, saved on a back up hard drive. Either Simviation, or Flight Sim. Com or Avsim or some other web site, too many years ago to remember ! Also I've only got 7500 Aircraft available for my FSX Simulator,,, be a difficult guess where I got most of them along with the many other Aircraft I have in my Sim Hanger as well- sorry,,,,,, Sim Hanger / Jetranger

Mark, Did you buy payware cloud add on without telling us? Those clouds in all your screenshots look good! And your planes' engines need to be polished Regards, Aharon

Also, looking at list of operators of 747SPs, I do not see Olympics Airways as operator meaning it is fictional livery??
I see that Qantas used different engines for 747SP!

Those engines on the Qantas-Jumbos are Roll Royce RB511-524 (the Tristar also used this engine-type) and not the Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7.
I think that Qantas uses/used mostly RR-engines on their Jetliners if possible (if I'm wrong, please correct me).

Default FS2004 clouds .... and default FS2004 time of day/season weather adjustments too.
Raw FS 2004 screen captures only .... no photoshopping or other graphics or artistic influences at all.
